Dwarf Jade ‘Portulacaria afra’ in a Teal Yixing Glazed Ceramic Pot (No. 19479)

Dwarf Jade Bonsai – Compact, Resilient, and Effortlessly Beautiful

This Dwarf Jade (Portulacaria afra) stands 17" tall with a 10" spread, displayed in a classic light gray-blue Yixing glazed ceramic pot with feet. Its upright trunk and lush canopy create a refined tree-like appearance, while its glossy emerald leaves add fresh contrast against the sturdy bark.

Known as the “Elephant Bush” in its native South Africa, this species is famous for its resilience. In the wild, elephants feed on the leaves, snapping branches that simply root and grow again. That same toughness makes it one of the easiest bonsai to own. Its fleshy leaves store water, allowing it to thrive with minimal attention and bounce back quickly if you miss a watering.

Over time, this bonsai will continue to develop a thick trunk and well-defined canopy, delivering the aged character enthusiasts value. This is the exact tree you’ll receive, photographed to showcase its shape and personality.
