Power plant. AKA carbon buster A-lister
Portulacaria, Spekboom, Elephant Plant, Small Leaf Jade. Whatever you choose to name it, the carbon-absorbing properties of this plant cannot be ignored for their positive impact on our environment
"Carbon footprint" is a ubiquitous term. Yet the answer to reducing it may be right at our feet. Findings suggest that up to four tons of carbon a year can be captured by each hectare of Portulacaria afra - also known as the Dwarf Jade Plant, Elephant´s Food, Elephant Bush or Spekboom. Water-wise and hardy, this miracle plant could rival the rainforest for rate of carbon absorption.
