The bush typically displays broad, green leaves and long, thin branches that may sprawl or climb depending on their environment.

Propagation: Propagation of borthwickia occurs mainly via seeds or cuttings, requiring correct temperature, moisture, and well-draining soil. Improving germination may involve stratification or scarification. Moderate propagation difficulty necessitates surface-sown seeds in a moist medium or semi-hardwood cuttings in a sandy mix, with high humidity and no waterlogging.
