A miniaturized form, this plant has tightly zigzagging deep green stems and green foliage. The architectural form of this succulent-like plant make for an interesting addition to mixed containers. An interesting feature of this plant is an unusual habit: the stem changes direction each time it grows a leaf, forming a zig-zag pattern.
