The Plant

HABIT: A clumping plant, similar to Frithia, but much larger. In nature, the plant would be partially buried in sand, with the tips visible.

CULTIVATION: I have had trouble with these in pots, but when I put it in a covered, raised bed outdoors, it thrived. Filtered bright light and not a lot of water seem to be the formula outside.

PROPAGATION: I have yet to try this from seed, but stem cuttings will root in sand.
