About Me

Native to South Africa! My branches are long and pencil shaped, with leaves sprouted on the ends. I make for a very interesting houseplant. Beware if one of my branches breaks, for my sap is known to be toxic to both humans and animals. So when handling me be sure to use extra precaution and wear gloves.
