Portlacaria Afra is a species of succulent that is also known as "Elephant Bush", "Elephant Food", or "Spekboom". I've found that this plant is extremely easy to grow from cuttings. In fact, all of mine were originally cut from a plant growing at my work. I put them in dry soil and watered once a week, and in about 3 weeks I noticed that small roots were forming from the cut ends.
This plant will either grow into a large bush naturally, or it can be pruned back to turn it into a cute bonsai.
