Indigo

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This huge caudiciform grows up to 108 feet (32.9 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is gray, and is covered in hundreds of rigid vivid yellow spines. It has a angular, wide, florescent green trunk atop a flat ball of silky, exposed roots. The branches are thick and burgundy and are short, rigid and upright.

The toothed-edged, broad, flat leaves are brown and indigo. They are delicate, but easily come away when pulled.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are cream on the edges and turquoise at the center grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a dish made up of 15 raised, narrow petals. It has a soft scent that smells like candle wax.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the peach flesh is slimy, and the slate sap is thin and causes severe cramps if consumed.


It has impressive regenerative properties.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
