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!

Awesome!
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product! I've used witch hazel for a long time as a toner and to help keep acne under control. Thayer's is the brand I've always used and loved. This one is specific for acne and blemishes, so I thought I'd give this blend a try. There is a slight fruit loop smell (it fades quickly!) and I feel like it's slightly sticky (which is not how plain witch hazel feels) but that also goes away as it dries. I use this anywhere on my face, but especially where there are blemishes and acne. It works well, and doesn't seem to adversely react with my rosacea , which is a plus! I let it air dry, then apply my favorite moisturizer. Results come quickly, and I love how clean and fresh and skin feels!

Great Toner!
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have both rosacea and acne. I use this to control my acne breakouts, and it never makes my rosacea flare up. It’s really good toner & I highly recommend it. It has never made me have any sort of rash/breakout/reaction.

Works
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've had horrible acne issues for the past 2 years since having my daughter. I've tried everything to get rid of it and nothing was working until I tried this stuff! Within 2 days the redness was significantly reduced and I've been having far less issues with my skin. It did cause the skin to purge in the areas I get the most blemishes but that is normal according to Google

Pleasant, light aroma, gently affects the skin.
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It has a pleasant, light scent and feels gentle on the skin, helping to keep it fresh and clear, but I recommend following up with a moisturizer to prevent any dryness.
