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. Cut flat to the bark rather than concave to minimize scarring.

The weight of the water in jade's leaves will cause the branches to naturally droop, lending to cascade style if the foliage is pinched and guided properly. Control the direction of growth by pinching off at a set of leaves that are growing in your desired direction. Remove the terminal bud from branches to stop their growth. Pinching normally needs to be done each week during the growing season on this vigorously growing bonsai.

Not as good as the first edition overall
Format: Hardcover
The Greek part has used the third edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. But the font is not as dark and readable as the independent reader's Greek New Testament. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The Hebrew part is the same as before in terms of content, but the fort is not as dark and readable as the previous editions. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The pages are yellow and are not comfortable to read. It is thicker than the first edition, not portable as the first edition. I have been waiting for this new edition for a long time because of the poor font format used in the second edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. After I received it, however, I was very disappointed. You just do not enjoy reading it and using it. It is even not as good as the original edition. It is not worth 60 bucks. I do not suggest you buy it if you want to read it and use it often. If for reference only, 30 bucks may be a fair price.

Christ is the Answer to All Your Eternal Longings! Is His Return Closer than We Imagine?
Format: Hardcover
Dr. David Jeremiah believes that biblical prophecies are being fulfilled in our time and that the return of Christ seems closer than ever! In this book he uses his powers of imagination to show us what the world might experience at the time of the rapture when billions of people will silently and invisibly disappear from the earth. This book is also well researched, biblically based and answers a lot of questions. I had a moment of realization while reading this book. I had never considered why Jesus called himself the "door" but now it makes complete sense. There is also some information on the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming. To be honest this book contains the most truth I've ever read in one book besides the Bible. I was listening to the Christian radio station in my area and also listening to Mandisa's one CD about coming out of the dark. I have an interesting thing that happens to me. I will hear a word and see that same word at the same time while reading and also listening to lyrics in songs. These make up messages I believe are directly from God. The message while reading this book was: "Know Body Heart Soul Understand Jesus Believe Christ!" God could not have confirmed that this book is the truth any better! As soon as I finished this book, my husband wanted to read it. It is quite captivating and shows that Christ is the answer to all your eternal longings. Is His return closer than we imagine? With what is going on in the world, I believe so! Read this book and renew your hope in Everlasting happiness and joy! I have sent a copy of this book to a friend as well. It is the type of book you want everyone you care about to read!!!! ~The Rebecca Review

Solid doctrine
Format: Hardcover
This book was an excellent summary of the "rapture" verses. The author believes, as I do, in a pre-tribulation rapture, and gives excellent verses to explain why. There are wonderful stories from his years in the ministry, and practical down to earth explanations throughout.
