My tiny new Spekboom.

I copied a bit from Wikipedia about it:

"It is a soft-wooded, semi-evergreen upright shrub or small tree, usually 2.5–4.5 metres (8–15 ft) tall. Similar in appearance to the unrelated "jade plant" Crassula ovata (family Crassulaceae), P. afra has smaller and rounder pads and more compact growth (shorter internodal spaces, down to 1.5 mm). It is much hardier, faster growing, more loosely branched, and has more limber tapering branches than Crassula once established."

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this plant is also one of the most efficient air filter flora species out there. Cleaning out CO2. So I've started 4 new plants off an older store bought one.
