For this red, orange, yellow and green combo, Sabine used Aeonium 'Kiwi', Portulacaria afra 'Variegata', Crassula ovata (jade) and Aloe 'Cynthia Giddy'. Portulacaria arbra (elephant’s food) was once a shrub succulent. It used to cover 2-1/2 million acres in South Africa. However, it has seen a significant decline in population due to sheep and goat overgrazing. Portulacaria arbusta 'Variegata', an easy-to-grow, ground-covering succulent, is also called the 'elephant bush'. Dracaena dragon tree (strappy-leaved) is also an option.

When soil with poor porosity is used, it facilitates soil erosion as it can be easily washed away with rain waters, thus the need to select less porous soil. Use fast-draining "cactus mix" soil. I've been participating in the succulent and cactus forum. It is therefore important to give the ammonium saltate a boost. Euphorbia spines are hard tissue like rose thorns, and often form a V suggestive of cattle horns or a snail's head. Where leaves attach to stems, roots will form.
