A sprawling, slow growing succulent shrub with attractive reddish-brown stems and variegated cream and green inch long leaves. A very easy to grow succulent that works as a great bonsai plant, hanging basket or even a hedge in frost free climates. The green form will slowly reach 12 feet in height with an equal spread, but the variegated form is slower growing and will likely remain considerably smaller and in containers even more so.

Place variegated elephant bush in indirect sunlight. Intense light can scorch the leaves and cause them to drop from the plant. The plant should be warm and protected from drafts.

Be sure the container has adequate drain holes. Overwatering and poorly drained soil are the most common causes of death for rainbow portulacaria plants. An unglazed pot is preferable because it allows excess moisture to evaporate.

Well suited for a xeriscape garden where it is drought tolerant once established and useful for succulent bonsai.

Stunning low growing plant with pink stems and leaves that have a wide central cream stripe.
