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!

A Must Have For Your Summer Beach Bag!!
Style: SPF 30, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently purchased the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick, and I am thrilled with its performance. This sunscreen stick has become an essential part of my beach routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results. One of the standout features of this product is its convenience. The stick format makes it incredibly easy to apply the sunscreen evenly to my face. I love how smoothly it glides on, leaving no white residue or greasy feeling behind. It's compact and fits perfectly in my bag, so I can carry it with me wherever I go. The level of sun protection provided by this sunscreen is fantastic. With SPF 30, I feel confident that my skin is well shielded from harmful UV rays. Whether I'm spending a day at the beach or just running errands around town, I know that my face is protected from the sun's damaging effects. Another great aspect of this sunscreen is its formula. It's lightweight and non-greasy, which is perfect for my combination skin. Unlike some other sunscreens I've tried, this one doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts. It feels comfortable on my skin throughout the day and doesn't interfere with my makeup application. The Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick also has a pleasant scent that reminds me of summer. It's not overpowering or artificial, which is a big plus for me. I appreciate the attention to detail in creating a sunscreen that not only performs well but also provides a pleasant user experience. Overall, I highly recommend the Sun Bum Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Stick to anyone in need of a reliable and convenient sunscreen for their face. It offers excellent sun protection, has a lightweight and non-greasy formula, and is incredibly easy to apply. With this product, I can enjoy my time in the sun without worrying about my skin's well-being.

Beach bag staple
Style: SPF 30, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used Sun Bum for years and always come back to it. SPF 30 is perfect for everyday beach and pool days, and it gives solid protection without feeling heavy. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and doesn’t leave me looking ghostly. The smell is classic Sun Bum summer vibes and not overpowering. I’ve worn this in full sun and never had issues with burning when I reapply. Easy to rub in and comfortable to wear all day. Would absolutely repurchase.

The smell of summer
Style: SPF 30, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this lotion and its smell! Offers both protection and hydration and is my go to sunscreen for tanning / laying around. It'd definitely not my sunscreen for running / workouts / etc. because it doesn't feel like it hold up great to sweat.

Highly recommend for face sunscreen care!
Style: SPF 30, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
A great choice for waterside sun protection. Rolls on smoothly and protects your skin from sun. As someone with sensitive facial skin I was relieved to find no issues after applying for a week straight. I plan to keep this product regularly on hand.

Expensive but good
Style: SPF 30, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It's not the best for your skin but it works and doesn't leave white cast and is nice and easy to apply to the skin. It smells good too but youll run out quick and have to buy more. Lasts like a month or something if you are apply to face, neck, arms, legs.
