In South Africa they call it "elephant food". Picture a herd of huge, dusty elephants stomping around these pretty, bunchy bushes, tearing up trunkfuls and stuffing them into their mouths, trumpeting and yelling! Not exactly the gentle, pampered, rainforest nurturing most of our plants enjoy in our greenhouses. Thick, little, roundo jade leaves in lustrous emerald green attach to fleshy, succulent, burgundy stems that age to shaggy, grey, mini branches, like mini bonsai trees. This Minima version is a truly dwarf variety that will trail so nicely in a pot or hanging basket, heading over the edge of wherever you have it. Almost indestructible (with all those elephants around) the only way to damage it is to bless it with too much water. Very interesting hanging around with houseplants, it kindof has the look of a real exotic Hoya or something. Flowers are lovely clouds of either pink or white sprays of stars all over the plant, so attactive to bees (but not inside). You'll like him!

Quick Care Guide:

• Water - Low (1):  Needs very little water to survive. Wait until the plant is completely dry then fully soak. Drought tolerant by nature.
• High - (5):  Plant needs a lot of light; direct is even better. These plants do best when placed on a window sill or next to a bright window. Avoid concentrated, hot light from window which may cause burning (magnifying glass effect).        
• Difficulty - Low (1):  These plants need barely any attention to thrive. Set it and forget it.
