Vriegated Elephant Bush, Jade Plant Care
Light- Choose a location with indirect sunlight when growing Elephant Bush indoors. Overly bright sunlight can char the leaves and cause them to drop off.
Soil-These succulents need well-drained soil. The best mixture for this type of plant is cactus soil or potting soil cut by half with sand, vermiculite, or pumice.
Water- The most common mistake made in succulent plants is watering. This plant is no need too much watering. In winter the plants are dormant and you may suspend watering.
Hardiness- USDA hardiness zones 10a to 11 b: from 30 °F (-1.1 °C) to 50 °F.
Fertilizer- Fertilize in late winter to early spring with an indoor plant fertilizer diluted by half.
Propagation- Like most succulents, Elephant Bush is easy to reproduce from cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer for the best results. Let the cutting dry out and callous for a couple of days and then plant the cutting in damp gritty soil in a small pot.
