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!

NOT SLIM FIT.
Size: Large, Color: White
NOT A SLIM FIT. Misleading. White is off-white, cream. Not neutral, bright white. Decent material. Ok quality. Textured, thin but not too thin. Dressy, not very casual.

Comfortable & Dad-Bod Approved!
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Size: X-Large, Color: White
I purchased this shirt in advance of our 10th Anniversary Cruise, and I'll say it was a success! I had never worn a shirt like this before, but I am now a fan. Cool, breathable, comfortable, and my wife loved it! Definitely Dad-Bod Approved. Quality was nice and I think was priced fairly well (might have bought on a sale). The size was perfect. I'm 6'2", 275lbs in these photos, and the XL was a great fit.

Not bad so far
Size: Small, Color: Light Yellow
mixed feelings about the quality... only worn/washed once and there are some dangling threads which I had to cut off which might lead to further degradation of longevity etc. The fit is a bit snug between S and M, I chose small regarding the closest fit to my chest size but it's ok. The fabric is thin so if you are a guy that doesn't mind showing off your form and fitness this shirt is flattering. The fabric is texture, light and thin so there is comfort regarding the lightness of wearing it. One could go a size larger for looser fit and more comfort but I actually like the tighter fit.

Perfect summer shirt...
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
I am one that ALWAYS look at the 1 star reviews first. When I brought this shirt I did not... I brought 4 more in different colors. I have now looked at the 1 star reviews and I have to disagree.. Most say they are too thin. When it's 90 - 100 degrees outside this shirt is PERFECT.. It is airy and relaxing. I found it to be also perfect in size. I came back to order more but they don't have a few colors I am looking for. This worked for me all the way around..
