Description
Bring a bold, robust energy to your collection with the big-leaf variety of Portulacaria afra. Commonly known as the large-leaf Spekboom, this incredible indigenous wonder plant features thick, glossy green leaves that grow twice the size of the standard variety. In addition, its emerald-green foliage creates a beautiful contrast against its smooth, dark red-brown stems. This resilient, fast-growing succulent acts as an exceptional eco-warrior in the garden while adding a clean, structural aesthetic.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Thrives in full sun or bright, direct light. High light levels keep the growth dense and maintain the vibrant color of the stems.
-
Water: Follows a low-water routine. Always let the soil dry out completely between waterings, then soak thoroughly and allow to drain fully.
-
Soil: Prefers a loose, sharply draining succulent mix. For best results, blend your soil with plenty of perlite or grit to prevent rot.
-
Winter: Thrives in warm conditions. However, it benefits from significantly reduced watering and protection against freezing winter temperatures or heavy frost.
