When it grows bigger, it spreads easily through branches breaking off. These branches will then develop [[root]]s, and a new plant will grow from them (that is a [[clone]] of the old one). It is also grown as a houseplant, worldwide. Usually, the plant has small white flowers, which appear in the cooler season (in South Africa: July and August). In other parts of the world, the plant may flower when the days are short, and the temperatures are betweeen 5 and 10 degrees Centigrade. [[Category:Saxifragales]]
