Portulacaria afra

This plant does well in bright conditions but can also tolerate partial shade indoors, making it adaptable for various lighting setups.

Portulacaria afra enjoys bright light with a mix of direct and indirect sun. Morning sunlight or a few hours of afternoon sun will keep it thriving.

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than overwater.

Portulacaria afra prefers dry environments and does not require additional humidity. Normal indoor air will suit it just fine.

While not highly toxic, ingestion may cause mild stomach discomfort in pets. Keep it out of reach of curious animals.

To encourage healthy growth and blooming, consider providing occasional fertilization during the growing season, typically spring and summer. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength and apply it every 4-6 weeks.
