Ellie was my very first succulent. She has been super easy to care for. She loves full sun and likes to be watered about every 7 days or so. She also likes to have her roots bound. I’ve made a lot of mistakes with her but she’s survived through it all. She is now coming back to life.

I’m not 100% that this is an elephant bush but this is the first plant that got me into plants. It’s so easy to care for. Good draining soil and a thorough water every two weeks and it does great. I love this plant

The elephant bush is a nice plant and grows very quickly! They can get very tall and look stunning hanging from pots. Otherwise, they’re great plants and very easy to take care of.

It can sometimes hang so it’s hard to tell if she’s dying or just cascading

it has occasional points in time where it decides to lose lots of leaves, then grows them back in a week or two. also, if gnats appear to be attacking your elephant bush, just drown them. it won’t hurt your plant unless you drown continuously attempt to drown the gnats. one time should work. also, try some cinnamon in the soil to keep pests away.

all in all, great plant.

I didn’t water this thing for like 3 weeks and she ain’t brown or droop even a little bit. This is the ultimate beginner friendly plant or the perfect plant for forgetful people.

If I could show the glow up from when I purchased it to what I have posted now...ufff. And I practically ignore it in general. Does not require much care.

I’m giving it 4 stars only because it hasn’t grown for me at all. I bright this plant home not knowing anything about succulents. I really don’t have the right type of light for it and is currently in an east facing window on the sill. So that is why she’s a survivor. Love her pretty face and color.
