Description
PLEASE NOTE: We sell cuttings and bare root plants only. If you see a picture of a large plant in the listing it is for illustration purposes only and not what you will receive. Cuttings need to be placed in a container with water or moist soil till they root, bare root plants can be placed directly in the ground or containers and usually require daily watering till they are established. Some cuttings like succulents and cacti can be placed directly in the ground without rooting. Most cuttings do not have 100 percent success rate so we recommend you purchase a few to ensure success. Even some bare root plants will not give you 100 percent success rate after planting in the ground. Some plants are considered invasive in certain areas or provinces and the onus is on you to make sure you research the plant that you are purchasing to make sure it will work for you, your area and your landscape.

Spekboom (Portulacaria Afra) is a succulent plant found in South Africa. It is a water-wise plant and can go long without water. The plant is edible and Elephants and Tortoises love grazing on it. It grows outdoors in full sun / semi sun or indoors in bright locations.
Chances of success of cuttings or bare root:
HIGH. This plant is very easy plant to propagate and will root even by sticking a cutting directly in the ground. Bare root plants and cuttings have the same success rate but bare root plants will establish and grow quicker. Do not root cutting in water, soil rooting is best. When you plant your cutting in a pot or ground water it once and place it in a semi shade location for 3 – 4 days then water again after placing it in full sun.
