This member of the Crassulaceae family was first
described by George Claridge Druce in 1916. It's found in southern
Mozambique and eastern South Africa,
growing in a well-drained soil, little water and doing fine in the
shadows. It will reach 2,5 meters. If it is dried totally out in the
summer (6-7-8), it will flower with fine small white flowers in January. Can easy be
reproduced by leaves, cuttings and seeds. I got mine from a friend around
1987.
It has been spread all around the world.
