Portulacaria Afra, or Money Plant, is a hardy evergreen succulent with coin-like, thick green leaves that symbolize good fortune. It thrives in bright, indirect light and warm temperatures, ideally between 15-30°C, and is sensitive to intense sunlight and cold. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. It prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil and minimal fertilization during its growing season (spring and summer). With occasional pruning and regular checks for pests like scale insects, this low-maintenance plant will reward you with lush foliage and seasonal blooms.
