- It’s also known as Hottentot bread, is a caudiciform succulent native to South Africa and Namibia, valued for its swollen caudex and trailing vines.
- It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but tolerates some direct morning or late afternoon sun; outdoors, partial shade is ideal.
- Water deeply during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings, and reduce or stop watering during dormancy (fall and winter) to prevent rot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix and keep it in warm temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C), avoiding frost.
- Fertilize sparingly with a diluted cactus fertilizer during active growth and provide a trellis for the vines if needed.
- Repot every 2-3 years or when the caudex outgrows its pot
