- Common Name: Dwarf jade or Elephant Bust
- Nickname: Twin Brothers
- Age: 1 Years

Plant History:
- 15th September 2009
This was growing great at Sejal's place. Then when I bought it back, pure neglect, repotting, rewiring, and excessive wiring killed it.
- March 2009
I have reduced the height of smaller branch by 50%. Pic will be uploaded later.
The distance between two trunk has been reduced by wiring.
- Dec 2008
Had grown this plant from a cutting in July 2009. Than shifted to a Mame pot in December 2008. Had wired it to present shape.
More Details:
It's called Elephant Bush because elephants love it. Elephants eat the leaves & branches & drop the trunk. New tree grow from the Trunk easily. For more details visit http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantnop/portulacarafra.htm
