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

This average-sized leaf succulent grows up to 40 feet (12.2 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is orange-yellow, and is covered in brittle faded green spines. The ripped-edged, broad, flat leaves are lime and bronze. Small amounts of them grow from the base in alternating layers of 2, then 4, then 6, and so on. The leaves are resilient, but detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are aquamarine in the center, peach in the middle and peach at the edges grows at the top, reappearing after 7 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 10 petals. It has a soft scent that smells like fermented fruit.

The leaf succulent's skin is extremely thick, the pale purple flesh is leathery, and the grey sap is thin.

It can flourish even in standing water.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
