The miniature jade tree bonsai (Portulacaria afra) makes a perfect beginners bonsai.
It is a variety native to Africa, where there are dry conditions and consequently it prefers a dry soil.
It  will not require watering as often as other varieties of bonsai and is particularly easy to care for.
It will thrive in a warm position and will tolerate being fairly dry (but please do not over-water as it does not like to be wet).

Portulacaria Afra trees are native to South Africa, they are enjoyed by Elephants and other wildlife. The leaves are a distinctive gem shape and they are a glossy, vibrant emerald green colour; as they grow older they develop cork bark.

This variety is known to be effective in carbon absorption (which is responsible for climate change). They are aiding in the fight for Clean Air.
Jade trees absorb more carbon from the earth’s atmosphere than most other plants because they are extremely efficient.

The antiseptic juice has excellent medical properties; you can use the juice for soothing rashes, insect stings, blisters and sore throats. These trees are edible but supposedly have a sour taste, I have not personally tasted one.

The perfect air purifying Jade tree is an aesthetically pleasing house plant that is easy to look after. We highly recommend for beginners (especially children) because they require minimal watering and care. These trees are extremely easy to take cuttings from therefore you could grow multiple trees at the same time. A fun activity for the family to do together.
