Portulacaria afra ‘Aurea’ Yellow Spekboom. A golden treasure in the garden, the Yellow Spekboom dazzles with bright, sun‑kissed foliage that glows year‑round.

With its luminous colour and eco‑friendly nature, this plant is both eye‑catching and practical, a must‑have for sustainable gardeners.

Plant & Care
Plant in well‑draining soil and position in sun or semi‑shade for best colour. Space plants 40–50cm apart when mass planting to allow them to spread naturally while forming a dense cover. Water sparingly, as this succulent stores moisture in its stems and leaves. Prune lightly to maintain shape or encourage bushier growth. Feed occasionally with a balanced fertilizer in spring to boost foliage and flowering. Protect from frost and excessive winter rain by ensuring good drainage.
