Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’, commonly known as Variegated Elephant Bush, is a beautiful, trailing succulent with small, round, green leaves edged in creamy white. This plant closely resembles jade plants (Crassula species) but has a more compact, bushy growth habit. Native to South Africa, it is drought-tolerant and an excellent choice for bonsai, hanging baskets, and container gardens.
- Size: Can grow up to 2–4 feet (60–120 cm) tall and 3–5 feet (90–150 cm) wide when mature, though it remains smaller in containers.
- Hardiness: Tolerates temperatures as low as 25°F (-4°C) but prefers warmer climates. USDA zones 9–11.
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. More sunlight enhances its variegation. If grown indoors, place near a south- or west-facing window.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand improves drainage.
- Watering: Use the "soak and dry" method—water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Water once a week during the growing season and reduce to once every few weeks in winter.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost and prolonged cold exposure.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a pot with drainage holes.
- Indoor Care: Prefers warm, bright locations. Rotate occasionally for even growth.
- Outdoor Care: If planting outside, provide afternoon shade in extremely hot climates.
- Maintenance: Trim occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Propagate easily from stem cuttings—allow cuttings to dry for a day before planting in dry soil.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during spring and summer for optimal growth.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
