Its grey-green body and subtle line patterns make every specimen slightly different. Perfect for anyone with limited space who still wants a plant that demands everyone’s attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough it looks suspiciously like a cactus, this quirky green amigo is officially a succulent from the spurge family.
