About Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' (4 inch)

Wow, the Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata,' also known as Rainbow Bush, is a stunning succulent with many branches that create a lush look. Its pink stems and smooth, fleshy green leaves with cream-colored rounded edges give it a unique appearance. And let's remember its lavender star-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer! The plant's dense, rounded leaves have a lovely color and texture that will brighten any space.

How to care for Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' (4 inch)

Sun/Temperature: Firstly, this lovely plant requires at least 6 hours of bright, direct, or diffused light. So, it's best to place it on an indoor balcony or windowsill where it can get enough sunshine. Please, avoid exposing it to too much direct sunlight that could harm its foliage during summer. Rainbow Bush thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F. So, make sure to keep it in a warm and cozy spot. However, if the temperature drops below 30°F, it can damage the plant and even cause it to die.

Soil/Watering: If you're looking for a substrate that allows for proper airflow, cactus and succulent potting soil are excellent options. Alternatively, you could customize your substrate mix by combining half-regular potting soil with sand, vermiculite, or other gravel materials. As for watering your Rainbow Bush, the soak-and-dry method is ideal. Yet, it's important to note that during the winter, when the plant is dormant, it's best to avoid watering it. If you notice its leaves looking shriveled, a small amount of water will do the trick.

Pot: To keep your succulent thriving, choosing a pot with drainage holes is essential - this ensures proper drainage and allows the roots to breathe. These plants are also perfect for smaller containers, growing slowly and will stay within their space. Consider hanging baskets for an added touch of beauty.

Propagation: You can quickly propagate your succulent using the cutting method. First, choose a perfect spot and grab a sharp and sterilized knife to cut the Rainbow Bush branches. Let the cuttings rest in an excellent place to heal, and then apply cinnamon to disinfect the wounds. Next, stick the cuttings into dry soil and moisten the surface using a spray bottle or watering tool. Once the roots have grown, you can switch to the soak and dry watering method. This method is easy and effective in keeping your plant healthy. 

Pests and diseases: To ensure your plant's well-being, avoid overwatering by checking that the soil and pots are well-drained and that excess water drains off the bottom of the pot only when the soil is dry. Watch for mealy bugs, red spiders, and whiteflies, which can infest your plant. But don't worry; you can quickly eliminate these pests using a natural neem oil solution. 

Fertilization: If you want to keep your Portulacaria Afra 'Variegata' healthy and happy, fertilize it every month in late spring. You can use a houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength to give it the necessary nutrients. Your plant will surely appreciate it!

After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
After ***TOO MUCH*** Research The Amazon ad for this product is so ambiguous that I thought I should do some research before taking this supplement. After AN HOUR AND A HALF of googling, for information I've decided to give this 2 stars. Initially, I was thinking 4 stars (that would have been 5 stars, but I'm not happy about all the googling I had to do about the ingredients), but I decided to lower it because after a great deal of research, I'm still not sure if I should take the label's full recommended dosage, or something lower. But I'm going to start here with the positive: The main things that convinced me to order it it is that it's made in the USA in an FDA registered facility that is GMP certified. and it's 3rd party lab tested. But even though that put my mind to rest about production, the ingredient list is ambiguous, and since there's no Medical Recommended Dosage, I want to know what a safe amount to take is. The ingredients and amount of the supplement provided are MUCH too ambiguous label says that 3 caps provides 1800 mg of organic turmeric (cucurma longa root), and 150 mg of turmeric 95% curcuminoids (cucurma longa root). So what's the difference between these 2 ingredients? And what does it mean, anyway? I read down the entire page, and at the bottom the Product Description notes that "each serving delivers 1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids". But that doesn't explain much. Does that mean that the entire 1950 mg is curcuminoids? Why are the amounts listed sepaerately in the ingredient list? I googled for information about the different ingredients, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Here's what I found: * A page on the NIC (official US government site) notes that "curcumin is a major component of turmeric, and the activities of turmeric are commonly attributed to curcuminoids (curcumin and closely related substances)". * Another NIC page, noted "In Curcuma longa, crude extract curcuminoid makes up 1–6% of turmeric by weight, distributed in 60–70% curcumin...whereas commercially available curcumin contains about 77% in curcuminoids." * On a page for a vitamin company (not the manufacturer/distributer for this particular product), I read "Curcumin 95 is a botanical extract from turmeric root spice. Curcumin 95 contains 95% curcuminoids." But the label is so confusing. Does that mean that 95% of the entire "1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids" is the amount in 3 caps? Or is it 95% of the 150 mg of the turmeric 95% curcuminoids, listed as an ingredient? And what's a safe amounts to take. The results vary a lot. A page on the Arthritis Foundation site says, "In one small randomized controlled trial, twice daily doses of either 250 or 500 mg of curcumin were compared to placebo. Both doses significantly outperformed placebo on all measures." This site also recommends taking a supplement that includes black pepper (as this does) "for better bioavailability".

Turmeric curcumin & black pepper
These capsules come in a freshness and safety sealed bottle. They’re pretty large, but the vegan cellulose capsules swallow easily with a little water. A serving is 3 capsules, You really smell the black pepper extract and turmeric when you open the bottle. The suggested use is to take them 20-30 minutes before a meal.

This is a good one
I really like these for inflammation reduction. That means a more comfortable, more pain-free body. I feel less achy when using these and that helps me through my day. They don't need to be taken (by me anyway) every day. These generally keep the aches and pains beat back so I have more comfortable movement and feel the effects of getting older noticeably less. They just help me feel generally more healthy.

"Solid credentials and nice presentation"...
The product presents as a professional well made product. The site page could be improved a tad with details just to match up with the product received. "FDA registered" is a requirement so it's not an over-and-beyond move. However, GMP certified and 3rd party lab tested are and are nice pluses. Capsule size is MEDIUM. MG per capsule is 600 MG or more based on the label which is pretty good. Black pepper is known to aid in absorption so you always want to see that with turmeric and some other supplements that benefit from its addition. Made in the USA is great. Ingredients are sourced domestically and globally. It would be nice to know where they come from outside of the USA. This is a very solid option for turmeric.
