The dark velvet surface is softly puckered between the lines

The combination is unusual even among epiphytic cacti: deeply lobed daytime foliage and oversized flowers emerging from the edges of mature stems

Mostly green new growth: Greener shoots can be more vigorous and may gradually dominate if left in place

Many fine green lines run from base to tip across the pale silver-green surface

or rough boards are essential to trigger and maintain adult morphology

New growth searches along the mount before expanding, and the leaves develop their characteristic shingled position when the stem remains close to a broad surface.
