Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush" Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet. Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year. Tree's Attributes: The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight. Temperature/Lighting/Location: Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage. Watering: Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil. Fertilizing: Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter. Pruning/Training: Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen. These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots.

This Book is a Must-Read for All Parents!
I had been intrigued by for awhile and finally read it last year. I loved it and it made so much sense to me. My husband and I ended up discussing it for awhile and still do occasionally. We have five-year-old boy/girl twins and I felt it was important for me to read The 5 Love Languages of Children because I want my children to grow up securely, knowing they are truly loved. The 5 Love Languages of Children is written by Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and Ross Campbell, a psychiatrist who specialized in the parent-child relationship. If you've read The 5 Love Languages, you will recognize the same elements discussed in that book but this time, they apply to children, which is where Ross Campbell's expertise comes in to play. Since children are ever-changing and differ developmentally than adults, the concepts presented in this book are a great way to get to know your child better and hopefully have a more peaceful, loving household with children who grow up to be loving adults. This book is comprised of 223 pages and there is a chapter devoted solely to each love language. Then, there are chapters that discuss discipline and learning, along with the love languages. There is also a chapter to help you find your child's love language, although this can be difficult because children are constantly changing so it's definitely a great idea to learn how to speak all five to them! I'm so glad I read this and I wish I had read it sooner. My kids are still young and I think what I've just read can really help as they get older. I've been thinking about what their love languages could be and it's actually a bit difficult to pinpoint but now I've got the tools to help figure it out! If you are a parent, I strongly recommend reading this book. I'm glad I bought it so I can refer to it in the future. Even if you've read The 5 Love Languages, you'll want to read this one as well since there are differences between children and adults and the way they think. It's worth the time to read this book!

loved the book!
Format: Kindle
I agree that children are gifts and that they should be raised surrounded by love. It won’t happen without working on yourselves first. Great information and very interesting!

Every parent should read this
What an eye opening book, not even just for how to understand the different ways to love your children, but on how people in general feel and express love differently. I firmly feel that every parent should be sent home with one of these books after having a baby. It has helped me understand things from my childhood and the lack of love I received, it has helped me understand my husbands love language and of course my sons. This book has revealed so much in so many different levels. It is any easy read and hooked me right away.

I'll admit I was skeptical
Ordinarily, the follow-on books are kind of flat. The Elizabeth George "After God's Own Heart" books seemed this way, although the first one, "A Woman After God's Own Heart" was excellent. I was expecting the same sort of flatness from this book. I found a lot to apply in the original Love Languages book, and I'm still sneaking it into my marriage. It's one thing to tell your Quality-Time husband that you are a TOUCH wife, and a whole different thing to gently convince him to touch touch touch touch touch touch. It has brought me to a whole new level of positive reinforcement. So I figured this one for kids would be a couple of hundred pages of telling parents that kids need *every* love language. And indeed, there was some of that. But the book was full of clues for how to recognize your child's love language, how it may change over time, and how to communicate. The book offered a lot. I thought the chapters on conflict were very worthwhile, and even on how to discipline in the different love languages. My kids are so different that I needed all the pointers I could get. And surprise -- thinking about love languages across generations has helped me communicate better with my parents, too -- off to a good start, anyway. I read this 6 months ago. My eldest started talking more, to me and to other people, NOTICEABLY more, and it's bringing me some relief from one of my biggest parenting worries -- how remote this child has been. That has been the biggest and most immediate change in our family recently, and I can trace it to this book. I would recommend you read the first Love Languages book first, and then this one to think specifically about your kids. Oh, and for moms, definitely read A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. It's family-enhancing.
