• Family: Piperceae
• Pot diameter: 5.5 cm.
• It has a small, fleshy shape that can reach a maximum height of 30 cm.
• The green stems produce very thin, narrow, olive green leaves.
• Flowering occurs in late spring and brings forth small pale green-yellow flowers.

Care

• Requires plenty of light throughout the year, avoiding direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
• Prefers mild temperatures and should never be below 10 °C, so it is recommended to protect it during the winter months.
• Water regularly but moderately in spring – summer, ensuring that the soil is always dry between waterings.
• During the winter, reduce watering to once every two months, avoiding water stagnation.
• A well-draining soil is the best solution, even better if enriched with inert materials like siliceous sand or pumice.
• Frequent fertilization is not required; it's sufficient to dilute the fertilizer during watering once a year.
