Cacti & Succulents

Plant Identification

9 years ago

I was told this is a type of cacti or succulent of some type. I have not been able to locate anything that looks like this. Where the leaves are attached to the stem (picture 2), there are thorns. The leaves are not as thick as the typical succulent. Since I only received it recently, I have not seen it bloom. It takes very little water and I have it located in full sun. The colors are beautiful (picture 1). I live in 7(b).

Pereskia aculeata 'Godseffiana' (I didn't know they can have salmon/yellowish leaves; had to look it up!)

I think this is the one I just got at a cactus and succulent club raffle. I heard it is a real grower if you put it in the ground. I'm afraid to...hehe. I have other man eating plants but this one has thorns.
