A classic! This Brazilian species is really a great looking plant with an upright vase shape, stoloniferous habit and green leaves overlaid with brown to black mottling. Variable, we have many clones that vary in depth of color, leaf shade, and pattern. All are great! Outstanding for mounting and growing in trees or on rocks.

An interesting species from the Amazon basin where it grows high in the forest canopy. Typical of many other Amazonian plants it is excessively spiny. Large, sturdy spines give the leaves a scalloped appearance. The plants grow tubular in shape and have grayish/brown, leathery leaves. The inflorescence is a panicle of yellow and white.
