Description:
A peculiar succulent consisting of a large caudex generally underground in nature, but which in cultivation tends instead to be placed partially exposed outside the ground to give the plant a further aesthetic charm. The caudiciform tuber, woody and covered with a sort of bark, takes on extravagant and asymmetrical shapes, sometimes branching; from the latter, during the growing season, pleasant tufts of lanceolate leaves emerge, many slender and extremely long, which tend to fall downwards like a waterfall. The intense emerald green of the foliage contrasts nicely with the clusters of small reddish flowers that bloom between the tufts and enliven the plant.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The perfect soil is a highly draining and porous one, for example a mixture of peat and pumice so that it does not stagnate the water.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
