Elephant Bush

Description:
Portulacaria afra, commonly known as Elephant Bush, is a hardy, drought-tolerant succulent native to South Africa. This versatile plant features small, round, glossy green leaves on reddish-brown stems, forming a bushy and architectural shape that's equally at home in outdoor rockeries or as a low-maintenance indoor feature in Melbourne. Favoured for its ability to store water in its leaves and stems, it thrives in dry, sunny environments and requires minimal watering. It prefers well-drained soil and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain a compact form. Outdoors, it can be grown as a low hedge or bonsai-style specimen, while indoors it makes a tidy, sculptural addition to bright windowsills. In very hot or dry conditions, mature plants may produce tiny pink-purple flowers, though this is uncommon in Melbourne’s cooler climate. Highly valued for its carbon-sequestering abilities and minimal care requirements, the Elephant Bush is a sustainable and stylish choice for both contemporary and arid gardens.

These are the perfect size. A little long cumbersome putting them together. They look very nice for a small nightstand

As pictured.

Was easy to put together, and it's sturdy. It didn't come with any white dots to cover screw holes, so I ordered as some on my own.
