The Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra) is a resilient, low-maintenance succulent native to South Africa. Its small, glossy green leaves grow along reddish stems, creating a unique bonsai-like structure. Known for its drought tolerance and air-cleansing qualities, this plant is a favorite for both beginners and collectors.
