Blue Spine Cactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This short cactus grows up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is green, and is covered in handfuls of flexible blue spines. The tear-shaped body is yellow-green, and is covered in brittle gold spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 10 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, several flowers with beige petals and a white central disk grow at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 39 petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like warm cookies.

The cactus's skin is rock-hard, the copper flesh is smooth, and the turquoise sap is thin.


It only grows on the most fertile lands.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
