Portulacaria Afra Mediopicta

Portulacaria Afra 'Mediopicta', commonly known as Variegated Elephant Bush or Rainbow Bush, is a striking succulent characterized by its vibrant green leaves with a bold, creamy-white central stripe. The small, rounded leaves grow on reddish-brown stems, creating a beautiful contrast that makes this plant an eye-catching addition to any collection.

This compact, bushy plant can grow up to 3-4 feet tall and wide when grown outdoors, but it typically stays smaller when grown indoors. Portulacaria Afra 'Mediopicta' thrives in well-draining soil and bright, indirect sunlight. It requires minimal watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Insert the cutting into the soil 0.5" to 1" deep. When the soil is dry, water the plant sparingly. Roots should form within two weeks. Keep the plant in bright shade during the rooting period. To prevent the leaves from getting burnt, gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions or full sun.
