Description:

Very original succulent, characterized by a look similar to a vine due to its climbing posture combined with the typical foliar shape. It has a caudex that grows like a sort of tree, swelling at the base and tending to grow horizontally once it exceeds a certain height, exceeding 2 meters overall! The stem is woody and pleasantly decorated with longitudinal veins that make it rough and pleasantly wild. From the massive central body depart slender stems rich in palmate leaves, usually with 3 lobes, pleasantly adorned by evident veins and by softly undulating margins. The stems reach remarkable lengths by clinging to random supports or wrapping themselves along their own central stem in a random and bushy manner. In cultivation the specimen keeps rather small measures, giving life to a plant worthy of note for its appearance of graceful bonsai: with A. olaboensis you will have at hand a real miniature sapling!

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light during all seasons, however avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

Its natural habitat is in tropical climates, thus it does not withstand temperatures below 10 °C and it does not like too dry heat. It is therefore advisable to keep it away from cold and intense sun.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once every two weeks in spring and summer, and reduce the frequancy to once every two months in autumn and suspend it completely in winter.

The best option is a well-draining soil, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
