This robust plant is cherished for its glossy, dark green, naturally waxy leaves that emerge from thick, succulent stems. It is an exceptionally resilient species, storing water in its underground rhizomes, making it highly drought-tolerant.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for containers on shaded patios or as an indoor plant in bright, indirect light, away from the intense Kilifi sun. It thrives in well-draining soil and serves as an attractive, low-maintenance specimen.
Growing notes
A slow to moderate grower, it requires infrequent watering once established, preferring to dry out thoroughly between waterings. Protect from overwatering and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight; all parts are toxic if ingested.
