It grows on rocky slopes or directly on rocks and has an unusual growth habit. It presses its leaves flat against the rocky surface, allowing condensation to collect beneath them, thus reducing water loss through evaporation. The leaves are hard and waxy on the upper surface, another adaptation to prevent desiccation. These characteristics indicate that it comes from a seasonally dry climate.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt grows rather slowly, but is truly robust and, as a larger plant, is also very well suited as a houseplant.

The leaves reach about 20 cm in diameter, and the entire plant can grow to be 60 to 80 cm wide and 30 cm high. The base color of the leaves is a dark reddish-brown with light green veins.
