The South African Jade, or Portulacaria Afra is a tiny-leafed jade
with a rough wood-colored trunk and branches, making it ideal for bonsai
cultivation. It will survive without any direct sun, or with
all-day sun. If direct sun is available, a few hours a day will improve growth and overall appearance of this bonsai. Being a succulent, it can go for days without water.
Like the Schefflera Arboricola it is the perfect bonsai for an office, or for
someone who has little or no sunlight available, or who is away from their
home or office for days at a time.
In South Africa full sized specimens are known as "Elephant trees" because
elephants like to "scratch" their thick skin on the rough bark. |
