Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush" Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet. Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year. Tree's Attributes: The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight. Temperature/Lighting/Location: Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage. Watering: Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil. Fertilizing: Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter. Pruning/Training: Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen. These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots.

So far they're great!
Just installed but so far so good. The installation was simple but time consuming for me as I had to remove a lot of body panels. They don't seem to have any effect on my grip or when I use the throttle. So far, the lowest setting is more than enough. I use these in conjunction with motorcycle muffs and honestly so far I think it's the perfect combination. My hands are warm and I don't have any added bulk to them. Will update if anything goes wrong or stands out with more use but for now I'd say they're completely worth the money if you're regularly riding in the cold.

Awesome! Game changer if u ride in cold weather
These are amazing! I’m not real big on leaving reviews. Takes something either really good or really bad. Well these heated grips are on the really good side. They’re a game changer. I’ve been using them for about a month now here in Buffalo, where it’s been prettttty cold. I can ride in temps lower than I’ve ever ridden in before, without wearing thick bulky gloves. The first couple settings actually get too hot sometimes. I was super skeptical about these because I’ve bought similar heated pads before, that hardly even heated up and died after like 5 minutes. But these things get piping hot and stay there. I don’t give anything 5 stars, cuz there’s always room for improvement, but if I could give these 4.9 out of 5, I would. If I had to say something negative about these, it would be that they’re thick on top of my current grips, but that’s the nature of the beast with this type of product, and I have smaller hands. If you’ve been scrolling through different versions of this type of product, just buy these and u will be more than happy.

Used for skid steer. Adjusting heat is perfect.
Perfect for my open cab skid steer. Only downside is the button sticky pad is poor quality but easy fix pick what glue you want and stays in place.

Great to have on a cheap bike!
The right grip provides ample heat, but the left grip is lacking for certain. The left provides what feel like half the heat output. The right gets hot enough to make lift my hand to let it cool, so that's good. Its cheap, you get bunk ones occasionally.

They work, they work really good.
These things are amazinggg. I have the option with the five different modes, let me tell you, they get F-ng HOT. Nice and easy instal.l I haven’t experienced any slipping at all after installing. I did install it to straight to the wiring so that once I turn off the scooter it shuts power off as well. In case one were to ever forget.
