Copperbell

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

This modest-sized caudiciform grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The fan-like stem is copper, and is covered in copious amounts of flexible cream spines. The wavy, silver trunk can grow to as much as 3 feet (91.4 cm) in diameter at the top. Its orange-yellow branches are long and thin and start growing a quarter of the way up the stem.

The sparse amounts of rounded-edged, circular leaves are pastel green and hazel. They are durable, but are very difficult to pull away.

It is steady-growing, taking 18 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with solid black petals decorated with gold dots and a blue central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 18 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight tube. It has a weak scent that smells like bleach.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the amber flesh is rough, and the amber sap is thin.


It is suitable for making strong rope
