Growth Characteristics
- Environment: It prefers bright sunlight and grows well in partial shade. It is resistant to low temperatures and dry environments, but is sensitive to high humidity and cold.
- Size: Mature plants grow to a height of about 10–15 cm, and the leaves are arranged in a rose-like shape.
