Copperleaf

This small leaf succulent grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is copper, and is covered in sharp spines. The finger-like leaves are solid hazel with caramel patches. Very large amounts of them grow on bulbous, aquamarine branches that trail down towards the ground. The leaves are delicate, but easily come away when pulled.

It is very fast growing, taking 4 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are copper on the underside and ashy blue on the top grows at the top, reappearing after 10 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is shaped like a heart made up of handfuls of raised, narrow petals. It has an overpowering scent that smells like fish.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the pastel green flesh is rough, and the sky blue sap is thin.
