I’m Jadé the Dwarf Elephant Bush, native to southern Africa. I am an evergreen succulent shrub known for my natural tree-like form. I'm a very popular tree not only for my very easy care but also because I'm known throughout Asia as a good luck charm. You may be familiar with my sister Georgette, the same tree with variegated leaves.
Keep me in a location that has direct sunlight for at least 4 hours a day. A south or west facing window works best. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and then let me drain thoroughly. Do this about once every 10-14 days, or when my pot feels 1/2 lighter. Dry, warm apartments might make me dry out quicker, so monitor the weight of my pot! Take me outside in summer for natural sunlight and warm air to remind me of home.
Symbolism: In Feng Shui, the Elephant Bush's Earth element symbolizes balance and stability, with the capacity to foster a solid foundation in the home. Interestingly, the Elephant Bush has 'Kun' Chi or energy, embodying maternal care, nurturing, love, and care. Consequently, it's an auspicious choice in Feng Shui, helping to facilitate the flow of energy and catalyze personal transformation.
