SPEKBOOM CHALLENGE
Portulacria afra is a succulent plant that is native to South Africa. These plants are incredibly easy to grow and take care of. Any sand or soil can grow these pretty plants. The leaves are completely edible too. They can be shaped into hedges or shrubs or left to grow into a small tree.
This plant is magic as it has the potential to tackle carbon emissions on a large scale.
The municipality in Cape Town has set a challenge to plant 5 000 in the next month.
All South Africans have been challenged to plant 10 plants.
I now have two.
If this plant can help with our precious climate, then I am accepting the challenge.
