With its creamy-white and green oval leaves, reddish stems, and gently trailing habit, Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’ is a much-loved succulent that brings brightness and structure to any indoor collection. Also known as Rainbow Bush, this variegated form of the Elephant Bush is drought-tolerant, fast-growing, and ideal for sunny windowsills or even bonsai projects.

Scientific Name
Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’ (also known in some classifications as Crassula afra ‘Variegata’)

Synonyms
Crassula afra ‘Variegata’, Rainbow Bush, Mini Jade (not to be confused with Crassula ovata)

Common Name
Variegated Elephant Bush, Rainbow Bush, Miniature Jade Plant

Origin
Native to South Africa, Eswatini, and Mozambique – typically found in arid scrublands

Light
Thrives in bright light with at least a few hours of direct sun. South- or west-facing windowsills are ideal. Insufficient light can lead to dull colouring and leggy growth.

Water
Water thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. In spring and summer, this may be every 1–2 weeks. In winter, water once a month or less. Overwatering is the main risk.

Humidity
Prefers dry indoor air. Avoid high humidity or over-misting.

Soil
Use a sharply-draining succulent or cactus mix. Add extra perlite, pumice, or sand to improve drainage if needed.

Food
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser. Do not feed in winter.

Temperature
Ideal range is 18–26°C. Can tolerate down to 5°C if kept dry. Not frost-hardy.

Pet-safe
Yes – non-toxic to pets and children.

Sprouts Top Tips
This plant responds well to pruning – pinch out the tips to encourage bushier growth and keep it compact. Can be trained as a miniature tree or left to trail naturally.

Extras
Stems may become woody over time, giving the plant a mini-tree appearance – great for bonsai styling.

Did You Know?
In its native habitat, this plant plays an important role in carbon sequestration and is often used in reforestation projects in South Africa.

I have a queen size Cariloha resort pillow and the zipper on the cover broke. This replacement is SPOT on and fit perfect. Material feels comparable to original very pleased.

The fabric feels soft and noticeably comfortable against the skin
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a zippered pillow protector made from a bamboo/polyester blend with a quilted surface. I’ve been using it for a few months on a standard queen pillow, including regular washing and everyday use. It’s also been exposed to dog hair, which I’ve been able to manage by vacuuming the surface. Pros The fabric feels soft and noticeably comfortable against the skin Breathable design helps keep the pillow from feeling overly warm Quilted texture adds a bit of cushioning without changing the pillow’s shape Zipper closure keeps the pillow fully enclosed and secure Holds up well after multiple washes Vacuuming the surface works well for removing pet hair Cons White fabric shows dirt and hair more easily between washes Slightly thicker than a basic pillowcase, which may not suit everyone Bamboo blend feel is smooth but not identical to 100% natural fabrics Bottom line: For me, this has been a comfortable, low-maintenance pillow protector that holds up well over time, especially useful if you want something breathable that can handle regular cleaning and pet hair.

Say goodbye to neck pain
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a very good product but it takes some time to adjust removable stuffing to accommodate individual sleeping patterns.

Soft and comfortable cooling pillowcase that gets the job done!
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
I got this quilted bamboo pillow protector (queen size) because I wanted a cleaner, cooler layer between my pillow and pillowcase since I’m always hot. This has been a great solution for that. The fabric feels soft and smooth, and it doesn’t make that crinkly noise some cooling pillowcases do. I’m a warm sleeper and the “cooling” aspect feels more like breathable than icy-cold, but it definitely sleeps more comfortably than the thick polyester protectors I’ve used in the past. The light quilting adds a little cushion without making my pillow feel bulky or changing the loft much. I like the fact that if you use a memory foam fill pillow you can add or remove some of the filling to make the pillow as firm or mushy as you want. This is especially helpful for people that are side sleepers vs people that need more neck support. The zipper is a big plus. Just be careful when zipping it open and closed as these are usually the first point of failure for pillowcases in my experience. It closes fully and keeps the protector snug so it doesn’t shift around inside the pillowcase, and it gives me peace of mind for sweat / oils and everyday wear. I’ve washed it and it came out fine with no weird shrinking, and the stitching still looks clean. For the price, it feels like good value if you’re trying to extend the life of a nicer pillow while keeping the sleep surface soft and breathable. It’s one of those small upgrades you don’t think about much once it’s on, which is kind of the point. It just works and helps me sleep more comfortably.

Soft and cooling
Color: White, Size: King, Color: White, Size: King
This pillow cover is great! Well made. Not too thin. Fits my queen pillow like a glove. Came out of the washing machine still looking brand new, with no zipper issues, which can happen with lower quality covers. Zero complaints.
