visionspictures.com Cactus Succulent
A tender, slow-growing, architectural succulent shrub producing very upright stems and branches to 1.8m (6ft) high. These are reddish-green and three to four sided, with short-lived, oval, reddish-purple leaves and persistent reddish-brown spines produced along the ridges of the stems. Along each side of the stems are variable, V-shaped bands in pale green. Small, insignificant, pale-green flowers can be produced in spring and summer at the tops of the stems, but these are unlikely to be produced on plants when grown in the home
