The String Bean Cactus is a small, fleshy shrub with cylindrical stems that are slightly pointed at both ends, creeping and生根 when in contact with soil. It lies flat on the ground, has nodes, and its epidermis is gray-green or brown with deep green linear longitudinal stripes. The leaves are linear, drying early but do not fall off, instead remaining on the modified stems like small spines. The peduncle has capitulum inflorescences, with flowers ranging from orange-red to blood red. It prefers a sunny, warm, and dry environment. For potted plants, the soil should be well-draining sandy loam, with a high proportion of coarse sand. Its unique appearance and beautiful flowers are very eye-catching, and can be planted in shallow pots, allowing the stems to extend and twist, adding a touch of interest to desks and tables.
