Portulacaria Afra Variegata – Rainbow Bush
These stunning succulent shrubs are easygoing and eye-catching!
Light: These plants are keen on bright light, so you can place them in the blaring sun, but they will also get on alright in a lower light situation. The plant will let you know if you have gone too low with your low light situation by dropping leaves.
Watering: Only water when the soil appears dry, as overwatering can quickly kill these plants. It’s usually time to water when your succulent gets a little bit puckery. Cut way back on watering in the winter. Moderate watering in spring/summer and cut it way back to once or twice a month in winter.
Temperature: They are keen on 20-25°C during the day and 12-15°C during the night. During the summer months, you can place them outside, and they will get a little colour boost. Try not to let them go below 10°C
Potting: A well-draining mix is ideal for this plant. Our Savvy Succa would be a great fit.
Hot tips: The more light, the better this plant will do, so if you want your Crassula to look lush, give it some sun!
Pet Friendly: NO
