Bring a touch of the Wild West to your home or garden with the striking Euphorbia 'Cowboy'! This architectural succulent, also known as Euphorbia acrurensis or Euphorbia ingens, boasts a bold, upright form reminiscent of classic desert landscapes. While often called a cactus, it's actually a Euphorbia, prized for its easy care and dramatic presence.   

KeyFeatures:

  • Striking Silhouette: The 'Cowboy' features tall, columnar stems that can reach impressive heights, creating a strong vertical element in any setting.   
  • Minimalist Aesthetic: Its clean lines and structural form make it a perfect fit for both modern and traditional decor.   
  • Low Maintenance: This drought-tolerant plant thrives on neglect, making it ideal for busy plant lovers and beginners.   
  • Adaptable: The 'Cowboy' can flourish both indoors and outdoors, adding a touch of the exotic to any space.   
  • Relatively Fast Growing: Compared to some succulents, the 'Cowboy' establishes quickly and fills out to its natural shape with minimal intervention.   
  • Versatile Use: Perfect as a standalone statement piece, in container arrangements, or as part of a drought-tolerant landscape.   

Care Tips:

  • Light: Loves full sun! Provide at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. Indoors, place near a south or west-facing window.
  • Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months. Overwatering is the biggest threat to this plant.   
  • Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Use a cactus or succulent potting mix, or amend regular potting soil with sand and perlite for improved drainage.   
  • Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and is not frost-tolerant. Protect from freezing conditions.   
  • Handling: Be cautious when handling due to the milky sap, which can cause skin irritation. Wear gloves when necessary.
  • Fertilizing: Generally doesn't need much fertilizer. A diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season (spring/summer).
  • Potting: Choose a sturdy pot with drainage holes to accommodate its eventual size. Repot infrequently, only when the plant outgrows its container.

The first two photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
