Portulacaria afra 'Reverse Variegation', a distinct and captivating cultivar of the well-known Elephant Bush, offers a unique twist on the traditional variegation patterns seen in succulents. Characterized by its striking foliage, which displays a central yellow line up the centre of each leaf, framed by rich green margins, this variant presents an appealing contrast to the more commonly seen Portulacaria afra variegata, where white edges juxtapose a green central leaf area.

Originating from the diverse landscapes of South Africa, this reverse variegated form thrives in warm, rocky environments, embodying the resilience and adaptability of its native habitat. This slow-growing, upright succulent reaches a modest height, making it an ideal candidate for container gardening or as a standout piece in a succulent collection.

The plant’s branches, starting as fleshy and supple, gradually mature into a sturdy, wood-like grey. The leaves, obovate and fleshy, are smaller than those of its relatives, typically measuring about 2.5 cm in length and 1.5 cm in width. This size contributes to its popularity as a bonsai subject, allowing for intricate and detailed cultivation.

In addition to its ornamental appeal, Portulacaria afra 'Reverse Variegation', plays a significant ecological role. Like its parent species, it is a powerful 'carbon sponge,' adept at absorbing atmospheric carbon through its efficient photosynthetic processes, including the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). This capability enables the plant to thrive and contribute to carbon sequestration in arid or semi-arid conditions, where other plants might struggle.

As a garden plant, this unique cultivar offers more than just visual appeal. It helps enrich the soil, creates a hospitable environment for wildlife beneath its canopy, and serves as a natural soil binder, combating erosion. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it a resilient addition to landscapes prone to arid conditions.

For Australian gardeners, Portulacaria afra 'Reverse Variegation' is a choice succulent for regions with similar climates to its native South Africa. It requires minimal watering, thriving in well-draining soil and full to partial sunlight. While it is resistant to many environmental stresses, protection from extreme cold is advisable.

In summary, Portulacaria afra 'Reverse Variegation' is not just a visually striking plant; it's a testament to the beauty and resilience of succulents. Its unique leaf pattern, environmental benefits, and ease of care make it an excellent addition to any succulent collection, whether as a potted plant, part of a bonsai display, or as an accent in a drought-tolerant garden.

Car Runs Smooth, Less Friction, and Improved Performance at Start Up and Underload.
Size: 5 Liter, Style: 1 Pack, Configuration: 0W-20
I kept hearing things about this oil from a few friends that work on cars and from my "go-to" mechanic. I was previously using Mobile 1 0w-20 on my 2024 4Runner and my wife's 2025 Outback Onyx, and this time around I decided to try it on both cars as they needed an oil change. So far I am happy with the change for both cars. This is good oil quality, smooth engine running, and noticeable oil lubrication at cold start. I am getting better MPGs mileage on both cars. Also noticeable engine is running with smoother. I had to lower my car window to check that my 4runner was on as it was quiet. I will update my review after a second oil change with this oil on both cars.

Near OEM quality at 1/4 cost
Near OEM performance at 25% of the cost! Bosch Quality replaced NGKs/Toyota OEMs. Great value and now the engine is running smoothly! I have seen a slight improvement in my mpg @1mpg overall in mixed driving conditions.

Very Expensive
Had one cylinder misfiring so replaced coil and spark plug. Runs fine now, but old plug looked shot after only 5 months so I think the coil was the problem. Really good plug so far but very expensive.
