About this plant

If you're a fan of the classic long-form TBMA look, this is a nice one. It's got that unmistakable growth habit that collectors know for its long, smooth, goofy-looking shape.

There is a single areole low on the stem. On the long form that matters more than it sounds — an areole is the only place a new head can start, so that one spot is where this piece will branch.
