Pink Succulent

Succulent type: Leaf succulent (Stores water in its leaves)

This average-sized leaf succulent grows up to 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall. The wide stem is gray, and is covered in handfuls of flexible yellow spines. The pebble-like leaves are bronze and pink. Copious amounts of them grow on very thick, florescent red branches that are long and slender. The leaves are light and frail, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 8 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are white on the edges and peach at the center, grow at the top, reappearing after 6 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is made up of 5 petals in raised layers. It has a delicate scent that smells like musk.

The leaf succulent's skin is extremely thick, the light yellow flesh is smooth, and the cyan sap is thin.
