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!

Needs to be sturdier.
The posts aren’t as sturdy as they should be. Don’t know if it’s the screws or the openings.

Perfect earring tree
Color: Bronze
I was so tired of fumbling through a handful of tangled earrings in my jewelery box every morning - went looking for something to organize them and found this lovely tree. Since I am a admirer of all things bird, the design appealed to me. I was a bit worried it might be too garish, but was pleasantly surprised. The burnished copper-like finish is quite nice, and the embossed designs on the trunk and leaves give it a three-dimensional look. The nest is sturdy and holds my rings and bracelets, and I could hang necklaces from the branches (but I have another place for those.) I was worried it would be too large for my counter top - it is 17" tall x 15" wide - but it works well as a decorative piece. The sturdy base (7"x3") provides stability. Lots of holes for earrings and works just as well for dangles as for posts. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase. It came in a sturdy box and only one leaf was slightly crimped, which was easy to gently bend back into shape. And best of all - no more tangled mess of wires and hoops to sort out each morning!

Great earring tree!I
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I like this earring tree more than I’d expected to! It holds a lot of earrings, is very sturdy and stable, and cute. It also has a little nest basket where you can put items like bracelets and rings. I love that I can see my earring options, and find the ones that best go with my outfit when getting ready for work in the morning. I’m glad it’s metal, almost a work of art, vs cheap plastic. It’s a pleasure to look at, not just functionally useful.

Exactly what I wanted!
It is really exactly what I was looking for. I've been living with my jewelry in ziplock bags since we moved over here and everything fits perfect. I saw some reviews that claimed it was unstable but I tested it and it seems sturdy though I'm not hanging heavy pieces. It is a nice size and I love the little ring basket. It also feels pretty decent quality too. Glad I got the black one as I'm not sure where I have it that the copper/bronze would look right. I think it is elegant, practical and I wish I could post a photo with my pieces on it to show that it really holds things beautifully.
