TIPS
Soil for Portulacaria afra
Portulacaria afra should be grown in fertilised potting mix. Make or buy a fertilised mix that is suitable for growing succulent plants (consisting of perlite/pumice, potting soil and sand). A lightweight soil for Portulacaria afra needs to provide good drainage and give roots room to grow.
Light Requirements
All plants depend on light for their survival, and making sure your potted plants get the right amount of light is key to keeping them happy. For both indoor and outdoor containers, group plants with similar light requirements. Don't mix shade lovers with sun lovers in a single pot; one or both of them will be unhappy, depending on where you place the pot.
