Description: The stems and lateral branches
are finger like1,5-2,5 cm in diameter, up to12 cm tall.
It produces also many tiny flower buds in summer which usually
abort and soon fall down. This cultivar tends to be slower growing.
Remarks:
HOBOKI and
HUBUKI are two very similar cultivars both in the name and in the
general appearance, but not the same plant! HUBOKI has white dots that
condense at evenly-spaced intervals on the epidermis forming a cloud
like decorative design,
whilst the dots of HUBUKI are spaced in a more uniform manner.
Cultivation: It is frequently seen as a grafted plant but
grows very well on its own roots too. Wintering with 5-15 C but hardy to
-5° C for a short time. Need full sun or light shade. Grow in a very
draining mineral substrate with little organic matter (peat, humus).
