Copperfern

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

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 29 feet (8.8 meters) tall. The wide stem is copper, and is covered in thick bunches of flexible cream spines. It has a angular, slender, cream trunk atop a slender web of silky, exposed roots. The branches are very thick and gray and are short, thin and wispy.

The serrated-edged, cylindrical leaves are brown and peach. They are light, but take some effort to detach.

It is very fast growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with alternating petals of silver and copper, with a peach central disk grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 curved petals. It has a fairly strong scent that smells like citrus.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the silver flesh is rough, and the light yellow sap is thin.


It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
