# Hi there I wanted to know if this elephant bush is healthy I’m not…

_Publié par Pauline le 2023-08-01_

Hi there I wanted to know if this elephant bush is healthy I’m not quite sure how to care for it. It’s dropping a lot of its leaves but it also has plenty of new one popping up. Also I’m not sure what is this 2nd succulent but I would like to propagate it. Do I just stick it in soil? ?

i just bought an elephant bush myself and have read a few things about them, they tend to hang and it looks pretty healthy to me, also for the succulent, you can cut up to the head and stick that part in soil, you can also put the other stem in soil, it’ll grow babies , you might want others input on the elephant bush! i don’t know too much but that’s what i think🤍 it’s pretty big, you can prune it and propagate what you cut off!

As for the elephant bush, don’t give up. Lots of sun and very little water. I only had three or four leaves left on mine and that’s what someone told me. Seems to have worked.  
Sorry for the crutty pic.
