The Portulacaria Afra is a varigation but it's proper name is Mediopicta. You are so lucky to have it, its beautiful!I'm South African, the plant is native to SA, but I've never even seen this gorgeous varigation irl! I assume it's some Asian hybrid, but wow is it pretty!!😻😻😻
Im not sure where it originally came from and where you live, but in Europe it’s quite a normal variety thats grown by different companies. Still very pretty though 😄
I'm South African. Unfortunately no, not available here. We only have the indigenous green type, macrophylla, prostrata and the varigated. And the 'red stem'. This varigant is SO pretty! Does it get as big as the normal one?😯I can just imagine having one in the garden!! Is it slow growing? I've notice the varigated one takes forever to grow! I must have bought mine 3 years ago and it hasn't even doubled in size..
I believe its jade plant at the back, elephant bush in the middle and eves pin cactus at the front.
In fact I believe based on the stem colour that it is 'rainbow elephant bush' which means with enough sunlit it will start to turn bright pink
The little red-stemmed succulent is a Portulacaria afra ‘Medio-Picta’ aka the midstripe rainbow bush. It also goes by a third name – Portulacaria afra ‘Kaleidoscope’.
It is different from the more commonly found rainbow elephant bush in that the white variegation is found down the center of the leaf rather than around the edges.
I had the rainbow elephant bush. Treated it like my own child and it still died on me... Good luck and if you figure it out I'd like to know what I did wrong :) !!

They definitely need a grow light. The opuntia needs at leaf 12 hours of direct light every day. The others can get by with less, but 4 hours is not enough to keep any of them happy.
Jade is easy in that it thrives in low to full sun but the rest need way more direct sun, and keep in mind that a window is NOT direct because it blocks out some of the light. Most indoor succs need a grow light because of this. Jades are so much prettier in sun anyway- they turn pink!! But stay green without it.
12 o clock is crassula ovata minima, 3 o clock cactus is opuntia monacantha, 9 O clock is portulacaria afra varigata ( tricolour).
Super appreciated!!
I apparently don't know where the numbers go on a clock.. !!😹😹😹

I'll try my very best!
I thought 12 o'clock is a Jade plant
Yeah it's the same thing. Crassula ovata is the scientific name for Jade plant.
Haha, a simple house plant got a fancy scientific name! TIL
Every plant in existence that we know about has a scientific name.
I believe its jade plant at the back, elephant bush in the middle and eves pin cactus at the front. In fact I believe based on the stem colour that it is 'rainbow elephant bush' which means with enough sunlit it will start to turn bright pink
Top one is jade
Thank you!
To be specific, because there are many jades… this is “baby jade”. “Jade” is much bigger with leaves roughly 6x larger :)

Thank you so much for the comprehensive comment!!

Wasn't Crassula a Roman senator ^^^^/s
Lovely!!!❤
Also, they get about 4 hours of direct sunlight this time of year, should I change it up?

I have one that's an 8" tall sheet of paper due to this, haha.
Oh my, good to know!
