Portulacaria afra, commonly known as "Elephant Bush" or "Porkbush," is a hardy and low-maintenance succulent that thrives in a variety of home environments. Here's how to care for it:

Light

  • Direction of Light: Portulacaria afra does best in bright, indirect light, ideally near a south or west-facing window. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can cause the leaves to scorch. If the light is too dim, the plant may become leggy.

  • Ideal Placement: Place it in a spot with plenty of natural light, but avoid direct sun for prolonged periods, especially in summer.

Watering

  • Watering Frequency: Like most succulents, it prefers to dry out between waterings. Water when the soil is completely dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), you might water every 2-3 weeks, while in fall and winter, watering can be reduced to once a month.

  • Watering Tips: Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away, but avoid leaving the plant sitting in water.

Temperature

  • Preferred Temperature: This plant thrives in temperatures between 65°F (18°C) and 85°F (29°C). It’s sensitive to frost, so keep it indoors or move it to a protected area if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).

Soil

  • Soil Type: Portulacaria afra prefers well-draining, slightly sandy or cactus mix soil. It’s important that the soil doesn't retain too much moisture, as this can lead to root rot.

Fertilizing

  • Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Portulacaria afra with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks. Don’t fertilize in the winter when the plant is dormant.

Problems to Watch Out For

  1. Overwatering: The most common problem is overwatering, leading to root rot. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings and that the pot has good drainage.

  2. Leggy Growth: This happens when the plant isn’t receiving enough light. If this occurs, move it to a sunnier spot to encourage compact growth.

  3. Pests: Portulacaria afra can occasionally attract mealybugs, aphids, or scale. If you notice pests, treat with insecticidal soap or wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.

  4. Leaf Drop: If the plant is stressed (due to overwatering, too much sunlight, or insufficient water), the leaves may start to drop. Adjust care accordingly.

General Tips for Thriving

  • Pruning: If your Portulacaria afra becomes too leggy, you can prune it back to encourage fuller growth. It responds well to pruning and can even be propagated by cutting and rooting.

  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and check the root health. This is also a good time to move it into a slightly larger pot if it’s outgrowing its current one.

With the right conditions, Portulacaria afra is a resilient and attractive plant, adding a touch of greenery with minimal fuss!

Size and Belching
The softgels are too large and the contents causes belching due to the fish oil included. The fish oil is one of the worst smelling I've ever experienced. Perhaps this would be a better product if they eliminate the fish oil. Women's softgels should be much smaller. If I could send it back I would do so. Since I can't, I threw it away and chalked it up to poor judgement on my part. Definitely a waste of money.

Huge bottle that lasta over half the year
I have been using this product for a while now because I routinely have low iron counts. Originally my doctor had me on an iron supplement but told me in the last year I could switch to a multivitamin with iron instead. I found that this is not the easiest thing to find, especially if you only want to have to take one vitamin a day. I like that the bottle has 200 soft gels which lasts over half a year before you have to worry about ordering more. And the last couple times I have had my iron levels checked they have been back in the normal range.

The b6 in the compound and the b6 in the multi was too much! Aka is backfired on me but this stuff works! I love carlyle! So girlies who are on compound tirzep… we can add extra b vitamins to our compound. Can’t wait to try to get a non compounded so I can enjoy this product!!!

Good
I love these! They have a little smell to them but my stomach favors these types of vitamins rather than the chalky ones.

Good pain relief. Fair price and no side effects.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I take this for its ability to block interleukin 1b and interleukin 6 and cox 1 and 2 enzymes without side effects or harm to liver or kidneys. This brand seems to be working well. I tried the Hawaii brand BioAstin 90 caps for $48 and this brand seems to be about the same price per cap. I have not noticed any difference in quality. Information: Astaxanthin works as an anti-inflammatory through multiple pathways. The various mechanisms of action for Astaxanthin as an anti-inflammatory have been demonstrated in several studies (Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto, et al, 2010). This research has consistently shown that Astaxanthin works on a variety of different causes of inflammation. In fact, there is evidence that it works on six different inflammatory markers, but that it works in a gentle, broad-spectrum manner. This is in distinct contrast to anti-inflammatory drugs such as Celebrex® and Vioxx® as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs including Tylenol®, Motrin®, Alleve®, etc.) and aspirin, all of which target a single inflammatory marker, but in an intense manner. Inflammatory markers gently reduced by Astaxanthin include: • Prostaglandin E-2 • Interleukin 1b • Interleukin 6 • Tumor Necrosis Factor-A • Nitric Oxide et al, 2010) • Cox 1 & 2 enzymes (Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto, Natural Astaxanthin has never been reported to have any side effect or contraindication in hundreds of medical research studies as well as over 15 years of commercial consumer use.
