Portulacaria afra 'Medio-picta'

  • Description
  • Light/Soil/Water
  • Hardiness
  • Portulacaria afra ‘Medio-picta’, also known as Midstripe Rainbow Bush or Spekboom, is an easy-to-grow succulent with bright, eye-catching foliage. Its small, round green leaves feature a creamy white stripe down the center, creating a fresh variegated look. The stems are pink to burgundy and can grow long and branch freely, adding beautiful color contrast in pots and arrangements.                                                                                                                                  
    This plant can grow as a small shrub over time and responds well to pruning to keep its shape. It may produce tiny pink flowers when mature. It thrives in bright light with well-draining soil and infrequent watering. Propagation is simple from stem cuttings, which root quickly and help create a fuller plant.                                            

  • Filtered / Partial Sun, Full Sun.                                                                                                    
    Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.

    Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.
