It grows about 20cm tall and 30cm wide, smaller and greyer than its relative the string of buttons, and its geometric stems look sculpted rather than grown.

Tube stock is supplied by our grower, so it is not always on hand. A sold out tube means the grower has none right now, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is back. A young plant arrives small, and the stacked columns lengthen slowly as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
