Sky Blue Succulent

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

This small leaf succulent grows up to 11 feet (3.4 meters) tall. The finger-like stem is hazel or white, and is covered in brittle dark yellow spines. The rounded-edged, sickle shaped leaves are sky blue and black. Copious amounts of them grow from the base in random directions. The leaves are flimsy, but take some effort to detach.

It is quick growing, taking 7 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are generally muted yellow; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a cup made up of 14 widely spaced, narrow petals. It has a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like vomit.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the grey flesh is rough, and the grey sap is thin.

The grains are bitter, but very healthy and can be used to make numerous baked goods.
Their seeds have hallucinogenic properties.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
