Portulacaria 'Variegata' (14cm hanging pot)

Also known as the 'elephant bush' which may be due to its elephant ear shaped foliage or the fact that it is eaten by elephants in its native environment. The foliage comprises fleshy leaves that are pale silvery-green with wide cream margins, carried on dark red stems. Very small, pale pink flowers are produced in clusters at the ends of stems in summer making this an ideal plant for brightening up your indoor space.

• As with most succulents it is best in a bright position in indirect sunlight.
• Allow soil to dry between watering and definitely water if the leaves start to wrinkle or become limp.
• Add some houseplant feed once per month in spring through to autumn but no need to feed over winter
