Elephant Food Bush Portulacaria afra – Drought-Tolerant Succulent

Elephant's food looks similar to Jade Plants but with smaller, compact oval leaves, and woody stems. It is much more versatile, being able to withstand summer sun as well as living in shade. Trim the top to spread as a low shrub or ground cover. Trim the sides and it will grow upright with a lot of character.

Best grown in sandy, well-draining soil, they will thrive with minimal care. It's a low-maintenance and drought-tolerant choice for succulent enthusiasts and perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Protect young plants from frost. Older plants can withstand light frost but could be damaged in hard freezes if not protected.
