Portulacaria afra 'Candy'
Portulacaria afra grows within the arid areas of South Africa, found mostly within rocky slopes. Known as the dwarf jade plant due to its similar growth habit to Crassula ovata but with much more dainty leaves, Portulacaria afra grow thick woody stems with many branches and bright green fleshy leaves. Portulacaria afra variegata ‘Candy’ is a rather unusual cultivar, with a more compact growth habit and producing completely white and pink leaves at the top.
