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!

Better and less $ than store Uncoated paper plates!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I ordered the 9" Stock Your Home uncoated paper plates 500ct. They happened to be less expensive than the least expensive uncoated paper plates available in my local stores (per piece). While I was looking to buy bulk for numerous camping trips through the fall, I saw this brand come up. Since they are also made in the USA, I clicked the Add to Cart button SO fast! We do not use coated paper plates due to the chemicals which are called "wax" on most paper goods sold now. We were not disappointed. Right away, one of my children grabbed about 50 to take on a camping trip the next day and another kid took about 24 to their apartment to test them out... I used one for a sandwich and a scoop of potato salad; it was much sturdier that the other uncoated plates we used. The stamping process of the paper creates not only the fluted edges which add stability, but the scored center area. I am very impressed! I will see what that first kid experienced camping with them soon (6-day trip, no water to wash stainless plates for 3 of the days). They my partner and I will head off for our own camping vacation with plenty of these plates! They are great around the house, as well, especially when the youngest offspring brings all the friends over and my dishwasher is running. Or, especially when I just don't give a F. Haha, it is true.

just buy them
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1)
Look.. They are paper plates. Are they thin? yes; use two of them, they are cheap enough. If you want "sturdy" to hold your spaghetti or thanksgiving dinner, then use a regular plate and get out of the review section. We use for pizza, sandwiches, hotdogs normal paper plates foods to avoid washing dishes 17times day. If my kids use 25 in one day. so what; each plate cost less than a penny. Bought 300ct in Feb 2025. It's April 2025 and I'm getting ready to place a 2nd order.

Low Quality, High Quantity, But Definitely Overpriced
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
When did low quality paper plates start costing so much? Yes, you get 500, but these are very thin and I tend to use 2 or 3 at a time, especially when they stick and I don’t want to deal with ripping them apart. These are just ok. Nothing quality about these plates but they do what I need when I use those paper plate holders to keep them supported.
