Spikeleaf Oceanbloom

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

This massive leaf succulent grows up to 143 feet (43.6 meters) tall. The fan-like stem is orange, and is covered in handfuls of flexible yellow spines. The ripped-edged, thin leaves are generally green. Small bunches of them grow from the base in alternating layers of 2, then 4, then 6, and so on. The leaves are resistant, and do not detach easily.

It is fast growing, taking 5 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid orange petals and a purple central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 2 years. The flower head is shaped like a cube made up of many tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like an ocean breeze.

The leaf succulent's skin is very thick, the hazel flesh is rubbery, and the yellow sap is thin.
