Hardiness- USDA hardiness zones 10a to 11 b: from 30 °F (-1.1 °C) to 50 °F

Propagation- Like most succulents, Elephant Bush is easy to reproduce from cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer for the best results. Let the cutting dry out and callous for a couple of days and then plant the cutting in damp gritty soil in a small pot.
