Aquamarine Succulent

This modest-sized leaf succulent grows up to 34 feet (10.4 meters) tall. The very thin stem is gray-green, and is dotted with small red spines. The smooth-edged, thick leaves are caramel at the bottom and peach with aquamarine patches at the top. Copious amounts of them grow from the base like rose petals. The leaves are robust, but easily come away when pulled.

It is slow growing, taking 26 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with silver petals on the lower layer and green petals decorated with copper dots on the inner layer. The central disk is bronze grow at the top, reappearing after 8 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a star with 6 raised, narrow petals. It has a weak scent that smells like glue.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the dark grey flesh is smooth, and the vibrant blue sap is thin.
