Another salt tolerant plant. During its growing season all the salt from the water it takes in is stored in the plant. Right before the weather cools they will take all the salt, push it to the ends of the stems. The stem end stop photosynthesizing because of the salt, turn red and sort of rot or fall off. Visible in the photo arent leaves, like most succulents. These are the stems, the leaves are microscopic.
