Mini Jade

Mini Jade, or Elephant Bush, is a succulent bonsai with small, rounded green leaves growing along thick, reddish-brown stems. Its naturally branching habit, tolerance of pruning, and ability to store water in its fleshy leaves and stems make it a resilient choice for bonsai, including for beginners.

Portulacaria afra Bonsai grows best in bright, direct to indirect light. Plant it in a well-draining bonsai or cactus/succulent mix and water only once the soil has dried out. Avoid overwatering, as it is prone to root rot in wet or soggy conditions.
