Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush"

Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet.

Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year.

Tree's Attributes:
The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight.

Temperature/Lighting/Location:
Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage.

Watering:
Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil.

Fertilizing:
Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter.

Pruning/Training:
Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen.

These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots. Cut flat to the bark rather than concave to minimize scarring.

The weight of the water in jade's leaves will cause the branches to naturally droop, lending to cascade style if the foliage is pinched and guided properly. Control the direction of growth by pinching off at a set of leaves that are growing in your desired direction. Remove the terminal bud from branches to stop their growth. Pinching normally needs to be done each week during the growing season on this vigorously growing bonsai.

Makes my melanated skin POP!
Wow! Where has this product has been all of my life??? Up until now, I believed that dewey, glowing, buttery skin I saw on celebrities in photos and video were due to some ultra expensive product that I could not afford, but low and behold I found out that is NOT true and you can achieve that same look if you're "balling on a budget", like ME! While Vaseline, and baby oil are mainstays, sometimes you need something with a little bit more umph, sheen, and sparkle and THIS Vaseline oil does the trick and then some! One mistake I made when I first started wearing it: I didn't spend enough time rubbing it into my skin. If you don't take the time to really rub it in and allow your skin to soak it in, you will have some dry spots (i.e., areas of skin you thought you moisturized but actually missed). I now understand why makeup artists and stylists are always seen rubbing their clients legs and arms, and between pictures and takes- it's because they're making sure they get the product into the skin! That said, this is not something that you can just slap on and go. You have to really take your time and be intentional about the application. If you have a partner, roommate, spouse, or whatever, ask them to help rub it into your back. I also love putting this on after I get out of the shower and I want to wear something sexy to bed-It is a major confidence booster when you are wearing lingerie. I absolutely LOVE this product and it is the best thing I ever bought for my skin. I bought both golden hour glow and sunlit glow. The sun lit is good for a lightly glazed look but the golden hour glow is a lot more sparkly and has this gold, copper, Sheen to it - basically, it's heavier or more pigmented, but still very lightweight. It does not stain in my clothes, it is very soft and it gives my skin this glazed, sun kissed, glow that is absolutely out of this world! The oil quality is great because it's not too thick and it's not too thin and it doesn't need to be reapplied. There is virtually no scent, so it pairs well with perfume or body spray. I have a very sensitive nose, so I was a little bit concerned about a strong fragrance but it does not have that at all. It is so versatile: you can use it on feet, legs, back, chest, forearms--and a little goes a long way. This is absolutely amazing. It is much better than the previous Vaseline bronze oil that I wore that was a lot more watery and came in a pump- it just didn't do it for me. This line is more moisturizing - this glazed and glisten gel is the best thing ever! Run, do not walk, to buy this product--You won't be disappointed. It is great value for the money. 10 stars!!!!

Really loving this!
This gives such a pretty sun-kissed glow without looking orange or over-the-top glittery. I’ve been using it on my arms and legs and it makes my skin look healthy, hydrated, and glowy without feeling greasy. It’s lightweight, easy to apply, and lasts longer than I expected. Smells good too. Definitely feels like a great value for the money. Perfect for summer, vacations, or when you just want a little extra glow without self tanner.

Beautiful glow
The way this makes my skin looks is heavenly. I’ve been using it on vacation and it makes my skin feel so smooth. The product is lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky on skin and the shimmer lasts all day. There’s no strong smell which I’m super happy about. Would definitely recommend this.

Does not stain! Great body oil
It’s soooo light weight and easy to apply, you don’t need tons of it to get a nice result. It’s not very oily nor greasy at all. It DOES NOT STAIN!!!! I love that, it moisturized my skin so well, it looks so pretty and natural but I’m going to mention that the scent is a little weird, not bad but like I was expecting to smell like vanilla but it’s not vanilla… it’s something else but is ok because it’s not strong or unpleasant.

Smells so good and very moisturizing and not sticky
It smells so good! It’s also pretty glittery and sparkly. I’m usually not a fan of using body oil because I don’t like the stickiness of it on my body, but this body oil is very good! I’ve been mixing this body oil with my regular non-scented lotion(cerave moisturizing cream) after I shower before bed. Though by the time I wake up the next morning, the scent is gone. It’s not necessarily a bad thing since the scent can be a little bit strong when first applied, but overall it’s not too overwhelming and it’s perfect! I really enjoy using this body oil gel!
