    From Thailand, a unique variety with very thick oblong succulent leaves having short hairs and red edges. A Compact grower that will climb but would rather trail as the thick foliage is heavy. Blooms in spring and summer with white glossy flowers in clusters of 20-25 forming a perfect ball shape. Fragrance of citrus. Mature plants have very thick trunks. Likes bright indirect light and dry between waterings.
