This average-sized creeper is a steady-growing plant, with the largest known specimen reaching a length of 33 feet (10.1 meters)0. It prefers to grow on rock formations.

It takes 7 months for the moss green stems to mature, by which point they have often fused together into ropes with a diameter of 3 inches (8 cm) and are smooth and rubbery.

The slender, pointed, clammy leaves reach up to 1.5 feet (46 cm) in length. They are grey with aquamarine tips, and have ripped edges.

During late spring, the creeper produces many average hazel flowers, and during the mid-autumn, after flowering, it produces plenty of very large fruits.
