About Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' (4 inch)

Wow, the Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata,' also known as Rainbow Bush, is a stunning succulent with many branches that create a lush look. Its pink stems and smooth, fleshy green leaves with cream-colored rounded edges give it a unique appearance. And let's remember its lavender star-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer! The plant's dense, rounded leaves have a lovely color and texture that will brighten any space.

How to care for Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' (4 inch)

Sun/Temperature: Firstly, this lovely plant requires at least 6 hours of bright, direct, or diffused light. So, it's best to place it on an indoor balcony or windowsill where it can get enough sunshine. Please, avoid exposing it to too much direct sunlight that could harm its foliage during summer. Rainbow Bush thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F. So, make sure to keep it in a warm and cozy spot. However, if the temperature drops below 30°F, it can damage the plant and even cause it to die.

Soil/Watering: If you're looking for a substrate that allows for proper airflow, cactus and succulent potting soil are excellent options. Alternatively, you could customize your substrate mix by combining half-regular potting soil with sand, vermiculite, or other gravel materials. As for watering your Rainbow Bush, the soak-and-dry method is ideal. Yet, it's important to note that during the winter, when the plant is dormant, it's best to avoid watering it. If you notice its leaves looking shriveled, a small amount of water will do the trick.

Pot: To keep your succulent thriving, choosing a pot with drainage holes is essential - this ensures proper drainage and allows the roots to breathe. These plants are also perfect for smaller containers, growing slowly and will stay within their space. Consider hanging baskets for an added touch of beauty.

Propagation: You can quickly propagate your succulent using the cutting method. First, choose a perfect spot and grab a sharp and sterilized knife to cut the Rainbow Bush branches. Let the cuttings rest in an excellent place to heal, and then apply cinnamon to disinfect the wounds. Next, stick the cuttings into dry soil and moisten the surface using a spray bottle or watering tool. Once the roots have grown, you can switch to the soak and dry watering method. This method is easy and effective in keeping your plant healthy. 

Pests and diseases: To ensure your plant's well-being, avoid overwatering by checking that the soil and pots are well-drained and that excess water drains off the bottom of the pot only when the soil is dry. Watch for mealy bugs, red spiders, and whiteflies, which can infest your plant. But don't worry; you can quickly eliminate these pests using a natural neem oil solution. 

Fertilization: If you want to keep your Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' healthy and happy, fertilize it every month in late spring. You can use a houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength to give it the necessary nutrients. Your plant will surely appreciate it!

Really loving this!
This gives such a pretty sun-kissed glow without looking orange or over-the-top glittery. I’ve been using it on my arms and legs and it makes my skin look healthy, hydrated, and glowy without feeling greasy. It’s lightweight, easy to apply, and lasts longer than I expected. Smells good too. Definitely feels like a great value for the money. Perfect for summer, vacations, or when you just want a little extra glow without self tanner.

Beautiful glow
The way this makes my skin looks is heavenly. I’ve been using it on vacation and it makes my skin feel so smooth. The product is lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky on skin and the shimmer lasts all day. There’s no strong smell which I’m super happy about. Would definitely recommend this.

Does not stain! Great body oil
It’s soooo light weight and easy to apply, you don’t need tons of it to get a nice result. It’s not very oily nor greasy at all. It DOES NOT STAIN!!!! I love that, it moisturized my skin so well, it looks so pretty and natural but I’m going to mention that the scent is a little weird, not bad but like I was expecting to smell like vanilla but it’s not vanilla… it’s something else but is ok because it’s not strong or unpleasant.

Smells so good and very moisturizing and not sticky
It smells so good! It’s also pretty glittery and sparkly. I’m usually not a fan of using body oil because I don’t like the stickiness of it on my body, but this body oil is very good! I’ve been mixing this body oil with my regular non-scented lotion(cerave moisturizing cream) after I shower before bed. Though by the time I wake up the next morning, the scent is gone. It’s not necessarily a bad thing since the scent can be a little bit strong when first applied, but overall it’s not too overwhelming and it’s perfect! I really enjoy using this body oil gel!

Teaaa Baby
This shimmer gel oil is teaaaa on your body. It smells good when combined with a cologne of your choice. It’s non-greasy, moisturizes the skin good and of course gives you that glow on your body needs. You must buy this.
