Portulacaria afra, commonly known as Elephant Bush or Dwarf Jade Plant, is a popular succulent loved for its small, round, glossy green leaves and reddish stems. Native to South Africa, this plant is both decorative and drought-tolerant, making it a favorite for succulent arrangements, bonsai, or standalone pots.

Its compact, branching growth habit and easy-care nature make it ideal for indoor spaces or sunny gardens, while also being pet-friendly and an excellent choice for beginner plant parents.
