Heart Elephant Bush Jade Bonsai: Portulacaria afra – 6 inch pot

The Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra) is a hardy South African succulent named for its role as a primary food and hydration source for elephants. While it is often called “Dwarf Jade,” it is a distinct species from the common Jade (Crassula ovata), featuring much smaller, rounder leaves and signature reddish-brown stems. This plant is a favorite for bonsai enthusiasts because its stems become woody and respond well to pruning. It is also completely pet-friendly and very adaptable, making it an ideal choice for beginners.
