Brain Succulent

unidentified Brain Succulent

This succulent has very tight 1/2" leaves, that wrap around each other. There are very small spikes on the end of the leaves. I call it my brain succulent. I'd like to enter it in the fair, but I need a name. I bought this at either a home improvement store or maybe even a 99c store, and it has grown from a few inches to over 7" wide. Any help with the name would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Purchase brain succulent
by: Britt

Hi there, I want to surprise my husband for his Birthday on Dec. 14 and purchase this brain succulent. I cannot find it anywhere local. He loves succulents, and saw that my mother had one and now he wants one. She did find this at a local nursery, but we haven’t seen it since for a few years now. This would be the best surprise for him, and suggestions would be so helpful, thank you!

The Nameless Brain

I've come across this same succulent twice now, in the past few weeks - sorry I don't know what the name is, but I'll keep searching.

Maybe another reader will know...
