The Green Elephant Bush is a popular succulent native to South Africa. It’s sometimes called Elephant Food, Spekboom, or Dwarf Jade Plant. It’s often mistaken for the Jade Plant (Crassula ovata), but it’s a distinct species with its own growth habits and care needs.

Here’s a full explanation:

🌿 Basic Facts

• Scientific name: Portulacaria afra
• Common names: Green Elephant Bush, Elephant Food, Spekboom, Dwarf Jade
• Family: Didiereaceae (sometimes classified under Portulacaceae)

🌞 Appearance

• Leaves: Small, round, bright green, and fleshy — they store water like most succulents.
• Stems: Woody and reddish-brown when mature; young stems are soft and green.
• Size: Indoors, it usually grows 2–4 feet tall; in the wild, it can reach 10–12 feet.
• Flowers: Tiny pink or lavender blooms may appear in late spring to summer, though flowering is rare indoors.

🌵 Care Requirements

💡 Light

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or full sun.
• Indoors: place near a south- or west-facing window.
• Outdoors: protect from intense afternoon sun in very hot climates.

💧 Water

• Follow the “soak and dry” method — water thoroughly, then let the soil dry completely before watering again.
• Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

🪴 Soil

• Use well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
• You can improve drainage by adding perlite or coarse sand.

🌡️ Temperature

• Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C).
• Protect from frost — it’s not cold-hardy below 40°F (4°C).

🌸 Fertilizer

• Feed lightly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month.

🌱 Propagation

Very easy!

• Take a stem cutting, let it dry for a day or two, then plant it in dry succulent soil.
• Water after about a week. Roots form within 2–3 weeks.
