The caudex, which is a swollen base can grow quite large. Branches can reach two metres long. The clusters of flowers are produced randomly along the stem and bear 2-6 unscented flowers. This plant is meticulously grown in a put with a mossy surface, pots can be hung.

Plants deteriorate quickly when dehydrated and they often don’t recover.
