Euphorbia ferox, also called the "Fierce Spurge," is a captivating and distinctive succulent native to the arid regions of South Africa. It is a prized addition to any succulent collection due to its densely clustered, cylindrical stems and its formidable armor of sharp spines.

Appearance:

  • Stems: Thick, cylindrical stems that grow in a clumping or branching formation. The stems are typically a dark green color, often with reddish or purplish markings.

  • Spines: Densely packed, sharp spines cover the stems, providing a natural defense mechanism against herbivores. The spines are usually reddish-brown or black, adding to its dramatic and somewhat intimidating appearance.

  • Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off, leaving the spiny stems as the main visual focus.

  • Flowers: In the spring or summer, Euphorbia ferox produces small, yellow or greenish-yellow flowers at the tips of the stems.

Growth Habits and Care:

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.

  • Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.

  • Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Additional Information:

  • Euphorbia ferox is a relatively slow-growing succulent, making it a great choice for those seeking a low-maintenance plant.

  • It is a popular addition to rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a striking specimen plant in containers.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm 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.
