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!

Good Pet Ball Launcher
Style: 2.5" Ball
I bought to throw balls for my Aussie. He does not like to tennis ball that came with it and chewed it up in less than one play time. The launcher seems to be of good quality and works well. We bought different balls made for launchers that work well.

Must-Have for Dog Owners (Whow have dogs that like to fetch)
Style: 2.5" Ball
Soon as this launcher arrived I went outside with the dogs to try it out. Long story short: This is a great fetch toy. I am able to launch the ball pretty far with little to no effort, and picking the ball back up is as easy as grabbing it with my own hand. The toy itself is very sturdy, so much so this is the only fetch-toy I'll ever have to buy. Considering how durable it is, I don't think I'll ever need to buy a replacement. I believe Chuck-It is the most popular option, and because this is the first fetch-toy I purchased, I can't really compare it to anything else. A few outlier reviews said the ball was difficult to launch, and I have to disagree. It has been so easy to use I can't possibly see what the problem is. And no, upper body strength is not a factor as I virtually have none. People can get great distance (Half the length of a football field by my eye) in one simple, easy motion. And if other products can launch the ball farther, so what? How far is far enough? Is your dog going to throw a fit because it went 40 meters instead of 50? No. They will not. For anyone upset this toy doesn't launch far enough, ask yourself this: Is the toy for their dog? Or the human who bought it? The bottom line is this: It feels like it's built to last, it's inexpensive, and it does what it is supposed to do. So long as a toy is "good enough" I don't see the point in splitting hairs and trying to determine which fetch toy is the absolute best. Saying it's good enough is a bit misleading though. I can't imagine how a dog toy like this could be any better. It's a must-have for any dog owner. Unfortunately, only one of my pups likes to fetch...

It wont hurt my elbow or wrist ( way better than before when I was wearing myself out ) I don’t know how I ever got along without it!! It's a must have if your dog loves playing ball. :-) Update: I've had this For 7 Months Now- it looks and works Great just like the day I bought it- Thumbs up!

Better Design - Better Materials - No Sticking
Style: 2.5" Ball
Been using Chuck-It launchers and plastic balls for a very long time and they were always a little sticky on giving up the ball. This makes it tricky to throw grounders with precision and can overshoot the fence in the backyard. A couple of years ago, Chuck-It changed the material to a stiffer plastic that made this problem more pronounced. I even tried custom sanding the cup to get just the right grip. The Fetch-It launcher (using the Chuck-It plastic balls) uses a three-pronged claw with soft rubbery ends that releases perfect every time. The material costs on this new one are noticeably higher while maintaining a somewhat lower price than the brand name original.

Meh
Style: 2.5" Ball
It "works" but it isn't very good. The grip is so loose on the ball, it lets go early and doesn't thrown very far. A Chuckit is so much better, I can get 3x the distance with a 25" Chuckit. This thing is kind of a waste.
