Raising the root base can be a bit of a shock to the plant. Not a whole lot of growth this year.

And a view of the reddish purple the patterning can take on grown in strong light. Caution must be taken though, the plant can burn.

Completely stripped of it's top growth after repotting to raise it. Here's about one months new growth in spring.

show plant, Los Angeles, with caudiciform roots raised up for looks. Does not grow like this in nature (all roots below surface)
