It is a very small plant definitely not very showy; so it wouldn't be of
much interest for those who like big and impressive plants.
It is on the other hand of great interest for those who like to observe
characteristics and adaptments of CPs to unusual environments.
I'm trying growing some young plants and they seem to be not so impossible
as it is commonly thought. After a few months of growth, however, they start
going dormant and if they aren't kept in an enough cool environment they can
die.
It would be nice to obtain seed and to spread this species among interested
people, but I still never heard of anybody who succeeded in this.
Best regards
