The Klip Dagga plant survives when exposed to bad conditions of nutritional scarcity, for example, when there is a lack of water. In botany, this plant is known for its light orange flowers that attract birds, insects, and humans. This attraction is due to the sweet nectar present inside the flowers of this plant.
