Houseplants
An epiphytic plant with a swollen, semi-succulent stem (known as a caudex), which is sometimes ridged or spiny. This is made up of cavities or tunnels that evolved in its native environment to host colonies of ants. Leathery, elliptic green leaves are held on pale fleshy stalks and often crowded around the tip of the stem. Small white flowers are produced directly from the main stem, followed by fleshy orange-red berries
