General Background:
The Jade has been nicknamed “The Elephant Plant” due to its symbiotic relationship with the world’s largest land mammal. The botanical name is a Portulacaria Afra. As the elephants strip the leaves and cause general destruction during feeding frenzies, the fallen broken branches of the Jade propagate and within a few weeks the fleshy emerald leaves have grown back for more.
Dwarf Jades are also fast growing and require little more than the occasional watering and lots of bright sunlight. Its fleshy branches, trunk and leaves help the tree store water for long periods of time, making this a perfect addition to any home or office.
This Jade Bonsai couldn’t be more stunning or simpler to maintain. It’s truly one of a kind.
