The flowers are generally white, the fruit is ingot-shaped, and there are 50-150 seeds.

Growth habits of Monilaria moniliformis
Native to South Africa, it is a very drought-tolerant succulent. It does not need much sunlight, and in summer it must be shaded, ventilated and kept completely dry.

In spring and autumn it can be watered frequently, which keeps the rabbit ears standing upright. When short of water, the rabbit ears will droop.
