Brown

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

This giant leaf succulent grows up to 179 feet (54.6 meters) tall. The needle-like stem is hazel or white, and is covered in sharp spines. The bubbly leaves are solid brown with black dots. Handfuls of them grow on stumpy, dark grey branches that are long and thin. The leaves are frail, but take some effort to detach.

It is steady-growing, taking 10 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are generally muted yellow; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour grows at the top, reappearing after 6 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. It has a weak scent that smells like cotton.

The leaf succulent's skin is delicate, the light purple flesh is smooth, and the red sap is thin.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
