Description

The Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary brings sculptural charm into your home with her thick woody trunk, cloud-like clusters of tiny rounded leaves, and beautifully trained tree-like shape. Her petite green foliage creates a lush, joyful canopy that feels both playful and refined, making her a truly special statement plant.

Native to South Africa, the Elephant Bush is a beloved succulent known for its resilience, bright green leaves, and naturally branching growth. In this large bonsai topiary form, she becomes especially rare and eye-catching — a slow-grown living sculpture that takes patience, shaping, and time to develop. We love how she adds texture, structure, and peaceful greenery to any sunny space, bringing that perfect mix of desert toughness, gentle elegance, and collector-worthy character.



Care 

How do you care for a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary? 

Your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary thrives with bright light, careful watering when the soil has dried out, well-draining succulent soil, and warm comfortable temperatures to keep her looking beautiful, healthy, and absolutely happy.

This sculptural succulent appreciates a sunny spot and a light-handed care routine. Because she stores water in her thick stems and leaves, she prefers drying out between waterings rather than staying moist. Think of Elephant Bush care as simple and steady — lots of light, gentle watering, and just enough pruning to keep her charming shape.


How often do you water a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary? 

Water your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out fully between waterings. She prefers a thorough drink followed by plenty of time to dry, which helps protect her roots and keeps her growing strong.

During winter months, reduce watering since her growth naturally slows down. Always check the soil first — this sweet succulent would rather be a little dry than sit in soggy soil.


Where do you put a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary in your house?

Your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary will be happiest near a bright window where she can receive plenty of bright indirect light and some gentle direct sun. A south or west-facing window is usually a wonderful place for her to stay full, compact, and beautifully shaped.

If she doesn’t receive enough light, her growth may become stretched and less dense over time. Keep her away from cold drafts, dark corners, and overly humid spaces — she loves warmth, sunshine, and a peaceful spot where her sculptural form can shine.


Is a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary high maintenance? 

The Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary is moderately low-maintenance as long as she receives enough light and is not overwatered. She doesn’t need constant attention, but she does appreciate occasional shaping to maintain her beautiful bonsai-inspired silhouette. You’ll get the perfect mix — artistic, resilient, calming, and wonderfully rewarding as she continues to grow into her form.


Does a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary need full sun?

Your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary loves very bright light and can enjoy several hours of gentle direct sun indoors. Bright light helps her leaves stay compact, vibrant, and full while supporting strong healthy growth.


What fertilizer does a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary need?

Feed your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength once monthly during spring and summer growing seasons. Skip fertilizing during fall and winter when growth naturally slows and she takes a peaceful little rest.


Can a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary tolerate heat? 

Your Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary handles warmth beautifully and enjoys bright, sunny conditions. She is most comfortable in warm indoor temperatures and can tolerate heat well when she has proper light, airflow, and a careful watering routine.


Bonsai & Topiary Charm

What makes this Elephant Bush a rare bonsai topiary?

This Large Elephant Bush has been carefully trained into a bonsai-inspired topiary form, giving her that miniature tree feeling with a thick trunk, shaped branching, and rounded pads of foliage. This form is especially rare because Elephant Bush grows slowly over time, meaning a large, well-shaped specimen like this doesn’t happen quickly — it takes patience, thoughtful pruning, and years of steady growth.

The bonsai-ness comes from her sculptural trunk and aged tree-like presence, while the topiary charm comes from the intentional shaping of her leafy canopies. Together, they create a living artwork that feels peaceful, refined, and full of personality. Because she is slow-growing, her shape is easier to maintain once established, and each gentle trim helps preserve that cloud-like form while encouraging fuller, more compact growth.


Pet-friendly?

The Elephant Bush is generally considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs, making her a wonderful choice for homes with furry family members. We still recommend keeping plants away from curious paws and nibbling mouths to prevent upset tummies and protect her beautiful shaped foliage.


Is an Elephant Bush poisonous to cats?

Elephant Bush is generally considered non-toxic to cats, making it a more pet-friendly option for feline homes. If your cat eats a large amount of leaves, mild digestive upset can still happen, so it’s best to keep snacking to a minimum.


Is an Elephant Bush toxic to dogs?

Elephant Bush is generally considered non-toxic to dogs. Even so, curious pups may still experience mild stomach upset if they chew on too much foliage, so placing your bonsai topiary somewhere safe is always a good idea.

 

Factoids

Is Elephant Bush a succulent?

Yes, Elephant Bush is a succulent, which means she stores water in her stems and leaves. This is what makes her so wonderfully drought-tolerant and forgiving when you occasionally forget a watering.


How long does a Large Elephant Bush Bonsai Topiary last?

With proper Elephant Bush indoor care and loving attention, your plant companion can live for many years. Her woody trunk, resilient nature, and ability to respond well to pruning make her a beautiful long-term addition to your plant family.


Does Elephant Bush grow fast?

Elephant Bush is naturally a slow-growing plant, especially when trained in a bonsai topiary form. That slow pace is part of what makes a large, mature, well-shaped specimen so special — it reflects years of steady growth, careful shaping, and patient care.

An Excellent Primer on Novel-Writing
Format: Paperback
WIRED FOR STORY By Lisa Cron Reviewed by C J Singh (Berkeley, California) Excellent Primer on Novel-Writing In Berkeley, California, we happily have access to four independent bookstores that display literary novels and creative-writing craft books. Browsing, I picked up two books by Lisa Cron on using "Brain Science" for writing fiction. The jacket quote by Caroline Leavitt rivetted my attention: "I'd never consider writing a novel without Lisa's input, and neither should you." As a longtime fan of Leavitt's novels "Is This Tomorrow," " Pictures of You, " "Girls in Trouble," I looked up Stanford Continuing Education where Leavitt regularly teaches online courses. As a Stanford Alumnus (Psychology PhD), I've taken several on-campus and online workshops on fiction-writing. While still at the bookstore, I promptly signed up for Leavitt's soon-to-begin course that uses two coaching books: Cron's Wired For Story and John Truby's The Anatomy of Story. I'm familiar with Truby's book and its nine excellent exercises. See my detailed review on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/review/R29NU7U6LAHGBV/ Here's my review of Lisa Cron's "Wired For Story" "WIRED FOR STORY' presents a unique, distinguishing feature among fiction-writing primers: throughout its text, the author includes excerpts from the published works of leading contemporary brain-scientists that validate the principles of narrative craft. Cron explains the principles of narrative craft in twelve well-organized chapters that focus on theme, the protagonist's issue, characters' bios, points of view, rising conflicts, subplots, suspense, reveals, and the arc from setup to payoff. At the beginning of each chapter, she presents sentences in italics that illuminate the cognitive-science underpinnings of narrative craft. Examples follow. "Cognitive Secret: When the brain focuses its full attention on something, it filters out all unnecessary information. Story Secret: To hold the brain's attention, everything in a story must be there on a need-to-know basis" (page 23). . "Cognitive Secret: Everything we do is goal directed and our biggest goal is figuring out everyone else's agenda, the better to figure out our own. Story Secret: A protagonist without a clear goal has nothing to figure out and nowhere to go" (p 65) . "Cognitive Secret: It takes long-term, conscious effort to hone a skill before the brain assigns it to the cognitive unconscious. "Story Secret: There's no writing; there's only rewriting" (p 219). Also remarkable are sentences in bold that challenge advice offered in some writing-craft workshops and books. Examples follow. "Myth: Write What You Know. "Reality: Write What You Know EMOTIONALLY" (p 62). . "Myth: Sensory Details Bring a Story to Life." "Reality: Unless They Convey Necessary Information, Sensory Details Clog a Story's Arteries" (p 118). . "Myth: `Show, Don't Tell' Is Literal - Don't Tell Me John Is Sad, Show Him Crying. "Reality: `Show, Don't Tell Is Figurative - Don't Tell Me John Is Sad, Show Me WHY He's Sad" (p 152). Has the author introduced a Myth of her own? I am afraid so. On page 57, "No matter whose point of view you're writing in, you may be in only one head per scene." In my opinion, the Reality is: No matter whose point of view you're writing in, you may be in only one head per PARAGRAPH. This is the new reality -- virtually every fiction-readers' perception has been reshaped by watching films and TV dramas that imply the camera engaged in frequent head-hopping in a scene. At the end of each chapter, Cron presents a concise series of checkpoints to remind the readers while they develop their work-in-progress. Throughout, she includes many examples from literary works and films. Literary works like Gabriel Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera," Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," and Caroline Leavitt's "Girls in Trouble." Films like "It's a Wonderful Life," "Vertigo," and "American Graffiti." An inspiring citation for writers: " `Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience reveal that our brain is hardwired to respond to story.... It turns that a powerful story can have a hand in rewiring the reader's brain -- helping empathy, for instance - `which is why writers are, and always have been among the most powerful people in the world'. " (On p 239 of Endnotes is the specific citation of three scientists' 2009 article "On Being Moved by Art: How Reading Fiction Transforms the Self" in the Creativity Research Journal vol. 21, no.1 ) WIRED FOR STORY fully earns its title with its numerous citations of recent contributions of neuroscience that validate narrative craft. Examples of cited works included are: V. S. Ramachandran's "The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human"; Michael Gazzaniga's "Human: The Science Behind What Makes Your Brain Unique; and Steven Pinker's "How the Mind Works." These stellar books illuminate the nexus between art and science; their shining light reflects on Lisa Cron's book as a five-star primer for novel-writing.

Will reading Wired for Story really make you smarter?
Format: Paperback
In my 36th year as a would-be and penniless writer, I found myself exiled to a dark rough and tumble city in the Far West, guns blazing as a steely-eyed wordslinger for hire. But then one day I stumbled upon Lisa Cron's book Wired for Story. The book's title had my curiosity. A few sample pages later grabbed my attention and has held it ever since. But the price wasn't right for a poor, humble English teacher living in China upon a Chinese salary. I had bills to pay, a mistress to please, and habits to feed. It seemed to me that Amazon.com was colluding with other dark powers to suck humanity dry; why else would they charge more for a digital book than its paper copy? But then I heard ghostly voices, the cinematic intonations of Morpheus telling me to choose between the red and blue pill; Obiwan Kenobi, "Use the Force"; Nike commercials, "Just Do It!"; and other such shadows flickering upon the wall of my TV room. Even this very particular retail website seemed to whisper across all the vastness of cyberspace, reminding me of my destiny via a personalized showcase of products, that I was not just born to buy... So I added it to my cart. About a download and two chapters later I found that I was still happy after the post-purchase buzz ran its course. This book should be required reading for all writers - and anybody else seeking an inoculation against the raging pandemic of competing narratives spewed out from marketers, pundits, prophets, and others posing as guardians of the truth - most of whom seem to be more enraptured than enlightened. For writers though, Wired for Story is quite different from other "how to" books, as Lisa Cron approaches the craft of storytelling from a neuroscientific point of view. She makes the case that writers aren't just entertainers: they are some of most powerful shakers and shapers of human perception. So if storytellers are like snake oil salesmen, then what is the difference? Both seem to be highly skilled in crafting story, using imagery, and evoking emotions, memories, desires. The difference is all about marketing. Salesmen claim to have knowledge, skills, and expertise, that they, and they alone have whatever it takes to get the facts right and fix things. They market their brands cloaked in story, as if they have a monopoly on truth, or at least the can-do spirit and problem-solving experience needed to improve the economy, save the world, whatever. It doesn't matter that time and time again reality proves them wrong; they will always have another story to spin. The difference between those who would use the power of story to express themselves versus those who would use it for personal gain is, perhaps, a fine red line marking the shadowy borders of between ethics and morality. Storytellers differ because they use words to hook audiences and manipulate a willing reader's central nervous system. They make no claims to knowledge or expertise. Indeed, fiction writers will be first to emphasize their work is fictional, and not based on any real life events or people. Their best writing leaves readers thinking, questioning, minds opening, empathizing, expanding their worldviews, the list goes on almost ad infinitum. Storytellers speak for themselves and let audiences think for themselves; pundits speak for others and tell audiences what to think. What's more, the art and craft of story, as well as the talent and hard time in solitary confinement required for their honing, is estimated to take an average storyteller at least 1,000,000 words or 10,000 hours - not including all the reading, language arts development, and life experience necessary to get to a point one needs to seriously embark on such a ludicrous and un-economical vocation. This means that fiction writers who risk everything for dubious prospects of financial reward must have something else driving them - and a good day job. A presidential candidate though, who has genuinely done the time, and crafts speeches with the skill of a poet or bard, should hypothetically have the critical thinking background, moral authority, and empathy to be a great leader. But in the final analysis, actions contradict words; their ability to spin tales proves the old universal theme that the pen is mightier than the sword. Now when I finish Wired for Story sometime this week, I will be one step further on this endless quest to actually sell stories for a living (i.e. stories fit for the fiction aisle of an actual bookstore, not a review for an online retailer). Until then, I'm probably just a hypocrite acting as if a single book alone makes a smarter man, when in fact I know little of anything (which is why I became a writer in the first place) -- or maintaining such a humble pretense. But I don't know myself well enough to be certain. That kind of exploration would be a whole other story - but it would be unsafe to say that I lived happily ever after reading this book. The End
