Euphorbia handiensis, also called the Handiense Spurge, is a captivating succulent native to the island of Socotra, Yemen. It's prized for its unusual, spiny appearance and its adaptability to arid conditions, making it a sought-after addition to any succulent collection or xeriscape garden.

Appearance:

• Stems: Thick, cylindrical stems with 4-6 prominent ribs. The stems are typically a pale green to grayish-green color, sometimes tinged with red or brown.

• Spines: Pairs of stout, sharp spines adorn the edges of the ribs, providing a protective barrier.

• Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off.

• Flowers: In the spring or summer, it may produce small, yellowish-green 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.
