Propagation
This plant produces aerial stem tubers that may be separated and planted up.

Take stem cuttings from spring until autumn.
Sow fresh seeds during spring in a very well-drained media and keep moist.


Botanic information
Leaf: The thin cordate (heart-shaped) leaves are silvery green to purple and are arranged oppositely and numerously along the pendent purple stems.

Flower: The thin fleshy cordate (heart-shaped) leaves are silvery green to purple and are arranged oppositely and numerously along the pendent purple stems.

Fruit: The pod contains small flat seeds are covered in small hairs. These hairs assist in dispersal by wind.The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.

Culture
Most of the succulents are indigenous to semi-arid environments with long dry periodsfollowed by a short wet period. The plants swell absorbing water during these wet periods and reduce evaporation by having a waxy cover over the leaves or the leaves are crowded together in a rosette.

Hairs and spines (modified leaves) also reduce the evaporation of water and most succulents form rounded shapes to reduce the surface area of the plant.
The size of the plant and flowering period is difficult to predict with succulents as the environmental factors such as weather and light variations control the flowering period. Soil type and available moisture influence the growth.
