Elephant Bush Bio

Native to South Africa’s dry scrublands, Elephant Bush, also known as Portulacaria afra, is a lush, woody succulent admired for its dense clusters of tiny, round, glossy green leaves. Its reddish brown stems arch gently as it grows, giving it a soft, sculptural presence. Traditionally used in its homeland for food, medicine, and even carbon capture, Elephant Bush is as meaningful as it is beautiful. With its bonsai like form and trailing potential, it brings depth and calm to any space while quietly telling a story of resilience and renewal.

Light Instructions

Elephant Bush grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Elephant Bush Care

To keep your Elephant Bush looking its best, gently dust the leaves from time to time so they can breathe and absorb light efficiently. Rotate the pot every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward one side. You may prune back leggy or overgrown stems to maintain its full, compact shape, and the cuttings can even be propagated. Repotting is a natural part of your Elephant Bush’s life as it grows, but only do so once it clearly outgrows its pot. For this, easyplant offers a repotting kit with a larger pot that holds more soil, giving your plant the space it needs to continue thriving.
