Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’, commonly known as Variegated Elephant Bush, is a beautiful, trailing succulent with small, round, green leaves edged in creamy white. This plant closely resembles jade plants (Crassula species) but has a more compact, bushy growth habit. Native to South Africa, it is drought-tolerant and an excellent choice for bonsai, hanging baskets, and container gardens.
- Size: Can grow up to 2–4 feet (60–120 cm) tall and 3–5 feet (90–150 cm) wide when mature, though it remains smaller in containers.
- Hardiness: Tolerates temperatures as low as 25°F (-4°C) but prefers warmer climates. USDA zones 9–11.
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. More sunlight enhances its variegation. If grown indoors, place near a south- or west-facing window.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand improves drainage.
- Watering: Use the "soak and dry" method—water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Water once a week during the growing season and reduce to once every few weeks in winter.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost and prolonged cold exposure.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a pot with drainage holes.
- Indoor Care: Prefers warm, bright locations. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
- Outdoor Care: If planting outside, provide afternoon shade in extremely hot climates.
- Maintenance: Trim occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Propagate easily from stem cuttings—allow cuttings to dry for a day before planting in dry soil.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during spring and summer for optimal growth.

ESSENTIAL for all parents and educators to read
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
As an elementary educator for the last fifteen years, I finally found a book that put all the frustration and wondering of why kids come to school struggling, drained, and overwhelmed. Borba states, "We are creating strivers, not thinkers, produced to be test-takers while missing the opportunity to be people."
She points out that we are all running on empty. In her book, she discusses the 7 core strengths that kids need in order to shine. Thrivers not only provides readers with current research, but it has practical and easy tips that both parents and educators can do to help foster a new generation of thrivers and not strivers.
If you are worried about your children's mental health, depression, anxiety, and stress, you must read this book. This book comes at a time when we all must work together to move the pendulum of what achievement looks like in 2021 and reimagine education for our youth, tweens, teens, and young adults.
Truly, this book has been life-changing.

Insightful, wise and practical!
Format: Hardcover
A highly readable mix of practical strategies, engaging anecdotes and research-based insights, Thrivers underscores the importance of our kids' innate character strengths for their success and happiness. I found this book perfectly timed, given all the pandemic-related stress our teens have had on top of everything else! Borba’s advice on recognizing and nurturing what really matters makes this book a parenting must-have (and I’ve read plenty of them).

Helpful pinpointing which traits to focus on
Format: Hardcover
I loved the format of the book, how are you take a diagnostic test and then read the sections that pertain to the character traits that you want to strengthen in your child. But when I read the chapters, I was disappointed. I was hoping for new information. If I had never read a book on how to support my child’s development and education, I would have been delighted.
