Copper Spine Succulent

This small leaf succulent grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The very thin stem is copper, and is covered in sharp spines. The rounded leaves are found in dark brown, lilac and copper varieties. Large amounts of them grow on stocky, copper or peach branches that are short and thick. The leaves are delicate, but detach easily.

It is quick growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with gentle yellow petals and a yellow center grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 28 curved petals. It has a scent that varies in strength that smells like fermented fruit.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the blood red flesh is rough, and the pale purple sap is thin.
