Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush" Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet. Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year. Tree's Attributes: The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight. Temperature/Lighting/Location: Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage. Watering: Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil. Fertilizing: Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter. Pruning/Training: Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen. These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots.

**Reliable and Efficient: Nilight 50FT 14AWG Speaker Wire Review**
Size: 14AWG-50FT
I recently set up my home theater system using the Nilight 50FT 14AWG Copper Clad Aluminum Wire, and I'm quite satisfied with its performance. The 14 gauge thickness is ideal for ensuring high-quality sound transmission, which is crucial for a setup like a 5.1 surround sound system. Although it's not pure copper, which some audiophiles might prefer, the copper clad aluminum (CCA) used in this wire provides a great balance of quality and value. It's flexible, lightweight, and offers good corrosion resistance, making it an excellent alternative to more expensive pure copper wires. The wire comes in a 50-foot length, which was just enough for my setup with speakers placed at various points around the room. One of the features I appreciate most about this product is the color-coded PVC jacket. It simplifies the installation process by making it easy to differentiate polarity, reducing the risk of errors during setup. The wire is also easy to handle; it cuts and strips smoothly, allowing for a clean and secure connection. The environmental PVC jacket provides good elasticity and fire resistance, adding an extra layer of safety to its use in home environments. While the jacket is thick, it's important to note that it isn't shielded, so I made sure to route it away from power cords to avoid potential interference. Overall, the Nilight 14AWG wire is an excellent choice for anyone looking to install a reliable and effective speaker system at home. It's straightforward to use, provides great performance, and comes at a cost-effective price point. I would definitely consider purchasing it again for future projects. Whether you're setting up a new system or upgrading an existing one, this wire is definitely worth considering.

Decent copper clad aluminum
Size: 14AWG-50FT
If you want the best wire, you should probably go with pure copper wire. It is more expensive but conducts better and thus is more efficient and less likely to heat up. If you are doing a low power, short run of cable, however, this wire should serve your purposes well. My purposes for such wire are varied. I am a licensed ham, like to build circuits, and have an electrical engineering degree. Depending on the specific tasks I'm on, some I'll gladly use this wire, others I'll go with pure copper. In comparison to other similar copper clad aluminum wire I've used in the past, the wire is pretty flexible and easy to work with. I also prefer the softer insulation like this has. You need to fit the wire to the job but if you have the job this is right for, it'll serve you well.

good wire for the price
Size: 14AWG-50FT
This speaker wire is of good quality. I don’t know what to say about it besides that its 14 gauge, which is a bit on the thick side, but good for getting high quality sound or for doing long runs of cable. Its not pure copper, but that's not really necessary unless you are an audiophile and even then, i wonder if its really noticeable. The 50 feet it comes with is enough for a 5.1 surround system, as long as your speakers aren’t too far away. I haven't noticed any weird sounds from my system after setting it up with this cable. The housing is relatively thick but not shielded, so I was careful to keep it away from power cords. All in all this is good cable, especially for the price, and I would purchase it again.
