It is armed with everything that can be described as super: The texture of the leaves is leathery, dense, glossy, not wet with water, elastic. Leaves up to 20 cm long, broad-lanceolate, up to 8 cm wide, petiole 5-7 cm long, fleshy, with thorns on the edges (if you run your fingers over the petiole, it feels like a nail file). The bush is multi-leaved, very dense. The color of the young leaves and daughter plants on the flowering shoots is light green, almost acidic. At the bazaar, these daughter plants bounce off like hot cakes. Gives daughter plants easily from the root and shoots. Eh is not tense at all, Hardy. Just the kindest words.^[1]
