  • Description

  • Notes

Interesting succulent. Green cylindrical branches are about the diameter of a pencil and are orange at the tips if placed in full sun. Leaves are not usually present. Some people are allergic to the sap. Tolerant of full sun or part shade and quite drought resistant as well as salt tolerant. Great accent plant does well in containers. Native to Africa.
