Orange Spine Succulent

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This colossal caudiciform grows up to 178 feet (54.3 meters) tall. The sickle shaped stem is lime green and gray, and is covered in large amounts of rigid orange spines. The thick, lime trunk can grow to as much as 178 feet (54.3 meters) in diameter. Its copper branches trail down towards the ground.

The smooth-edged, wispy leaves are solid peach or indigo, with muted red edges. They are strong, and take little effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 16 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with slate petals and a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of 6 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cup. It has a powerful scent that smells like warm cookies.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the pink flesh is rough, and the light brown sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
