Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light showcases the translucent windows beautifully

  • Some morning sun enhances the magical window effect dramatically

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the leaves shaped like beans?
The cylindrical, bean-shaped leaves are a water storage adaptation that allows the plant to survive drought conditions. This unique shape maximizes water storage while minimizing surface area for water loss, making it incredibly drought-tolerant and distinctive.
