Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This small cactus grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The wide stem is moss green, and is covered in large amounts of rigid green spines.

The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 18 curved petals. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like glue.

The cactus's skin is delicate, the bronze flesh is rubbery, and the red sap is thin.

It can flourish even in standing water.
