Ceraria pygmaea (Portulacaria pygmaea)

Description

What it lacks in stature, the Ceraria pygmaea makes up for with its mint-green fleshy leaves and gnarled trunk. Also known as Portulacaria pygmaea, or ‘Pygmy Porkbush,’ this bonsai-esque succulent can develop a knotty caudex in its older years.

WATERING

In Summer water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. A/W allow soil to dry 100% – water sparingly. Spring gradually increase watering – depending on temp and light exposure.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

Use a cactus fertiliser 2-3 times a year.

REPOTTING

Repotting once every 2-3 years to replenish soil. Use a cactus compost with a good mix of perlite.
