Turquoise

This average-sized leaf succulent grows up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) tall. The wispy stem is green, and is covered in sharp spines. The lumpy leaves are slate and turquoise. Thick bunches of them grow on very thick, dark yellow or purple branches that are long and thin. The leaves are sturdy, and do not detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 7 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid lime petals decorated with red lines and a black central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is made up of many petals in raised layers. It has a weak scent that smells like pot-purri.

The leaf succulent's skin is delicate, the copper flesh is rubbery, and the crimson sap is thin.
