Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Most people do a double take when they pass by this plant- it looks so artificially plastic. An unusual shrubby succulent with variegated foliage on "zig zagging" stems, it is rather slow growing and is a real heat lover. Our 4 year old plant is now 2' tall.
Bright Light, No Full Sun. Indoor. Yellow.
