Elephant Bush, Portulacaria afra or Money Tree or Lucky Plant, is an interesting succulent. Its leaves are shaped like elephant ears, which give it the cute nickname "Elephant Bush".
![]()
Elephant Bush is low maintenance and drought tolerant, so it can be grown easily as a houseplant. The soft wood branches can grow quite long, making this succulent a good trailing plant in hanging planters. The variegated version of Portulacaria Afra is called "Rainbow Bush" thanks to the lovely white and yellow variegation on the leaves. The non-variegated form is more heat tolerant.
