It is a slow-growing evergreen shrub reaching approximately 50-70 cm in height. Its creamy white flowers bloom in spring.

The purchased plant must always be repotted to ensure its long-term survival indoors. We recommend repotting them into a larger pot or container so that they feel good in a heated apartment and do not wilt. It is important not to forget to spray them (with water)!
