Originating in the dry regions of South Africa the Dwarf Jade or ‘Elephant Bush’ is a succulent plant which explains its ability to store water for a long time. It is a very undemanding plant well suited for individuals who travel often or who are prone to forget to water their plants. Thick round dark green leaves and delicate pink flowers sit atop fleshy stems and branches. These succulent features hold water for long periods of time. Though it grows to heights of 10 feet tall in its native habitat it is an ideal bonsai for a beginner; this beautiful plant is easy to care for and will be a thing of beauty for years to come.
