The Silver Silkworm is a small, creeping succulent plant. The leaves are small with stipules, which are filamentous hairs attached at the base of the leaves. The flowering period is very short, lasting only about an hour. The flowers are white and can self-pollinate. For the Silver Silkworm used in kite-making, a mixture of coal slag, red jade soil, pumice, and decomposed leaf soil is used. It just needs to be breathable. The Silver Silkworm requires no water and enters dormancy in winter, while in other seasons, it should be watered thoroughly when dry, with plenty of sunlight and some shading during the summer. When the Silver Silkworm lacks water, the branches will droop and lie on the ground. After watering, the plant 'raises its head,' which is quite fun. Generally, watering is based on this condition. The branches of the Silver Silkworm can grow very long, and some people find it scary, but in reality, the Silver Silkworm is quite beautiful. The branches can be arranged in any shape. Remember, do not give too much water to the Silver Silkworm until its roots are well established, as it won't die from being too dry.
