Bronze Succulent

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

This average-sized leaf succulent grows up to 32 feet (9.8 meters) tall. The wispy stem is emerald, and is covered in many flexible ashy red spines. The smooth-edged, needle-like leaves are solid cyan or brown, with bronze dots. Large amounts of them grow from the base in a random bunch. The leaves are light, but detach easily.

It is very slow growing, taking 10 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are bronze on the underside and orange on the top, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 petals. It has a weak scent that smells like old books.

The leaf succulent's skin is thick, the grey flesh is sticky, and the beige sap is thin.

It is suitable for use as a construction material
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
