About this Baby Jade Bonsai, Three Tree Group, 5 Years Old (Portulacaria afra)

Three plants of Portulacaria afra, each 4 to 5 years old and 9 to 11 inches tall, share a single pot as a group planting. Known as the elephant bush, this South African succulent carries pale green leaves that are nearly circular, at roughly a third the scale of common jade foliage. Trunk, branches and foliage are all fleshy and act as water storage. Three stems in one container make a fuller composition than a lone plant. It suits a home or an office.

Dwarf Jade / Elephant Bush bonsai care

Light: Bright light; does best with at least 4 hours of direct sun; a south window indoors
Water: Dry side: drought tolerant in the ground, but in a pot water when the soil has nearly dried, which can mean every few days in summer heat
USDA zones: 9 to 11; indoors in colder zones
Main risks: Main risks, not ranked by any source: root rot in soil that stays wet, and cold

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Dwarf Jade / Elephant Bush bonsai care guide.
