Pyrenacantha malvifolia is a caudiciform plant native to Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania.
 Its gigantic caudex can greatly exceed 1.50 meters in diameter in the natural environment. The vines it produces can be very invasive in its country of origin but remain easily manageable in cultivation.
 It does not like direct sunlight on its caudex when it is young. In the summer season, it will appreciate frequent watering enriched with a little fertilizer. In winter it will lose its foliage and must be kept warm and dry until the following season.
