Without such support, it will \"only\" reach about 1 m in height.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe main stems grow up to 5 mm thick and are covered with small, scale-like leaves. From the main stems, downward-pointing, colorless, and leafless shoots called rhizophores grow at regular intervals, often at the branching points. Roots form at their ends, anchoring the plant in the soil. Thinner stems branch out from the thick main stem into up to three progressively smaller substems, on which the tiny leaves, only about 2 to 4 mm in size, are attached. These are arranged very regularly, giving the plant its fern-like appearance. The most striking feature of this plant, however, is its strong blue iridescence. As with other metallic-shimmering plants, this likely serves to capture the limited amount of residual light that reaches the ground more efficiently in the shady undergrowth of rainforests. Unlike iridescent begonias, however, the effect here is not produced by iridoplasts, but by thin-film interference.
