Watch Chain is a fleshy plant that is grown as a
houseplant worldwide. It has very small, light green leaves that are
densely packed around a thin stem, and the arrangement of the leaves
around the stems gives them a square shape, looking like a watch-chain.
It grows as an intricate bush with very small yellow-green flowers,
with a maximum height of 15-20 cm. It is an invasive species and easily
propagated from stem cuttings. When in flower, the plant can produce a
pungent, acrid smell not unlike cat urine. Watch Chain is found in
Southern Africa.
