Euphorbia Lactea

Euphorbia lactea, also known as the Mottled Spurge, Candelabra Cactus, or Dragon Bones, is a captivating succulent native to tropical Asia. It is prized for its unique appearance and easy-care nature, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.

This striking succulent features upright, columnar stems with 3-5 distinct ridges. The stems are typically mottled green with white streaks or markings, adding to its visual interest. In its natural habitat, it can grow into a large shrub or small tree, but in cultivation, it often remains a more compact size, making it suitable for containers or smaller gardens.

Euphorbia lactea is relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. It is drought-tolerant and can handle periods of neglect, making it an ideal choice for busy plant owners or those living in arid climates.

While it rarely blooms in cultivation, mature plants may produce small, yellow-tinged flowers. However, the primary appeal of Euphorbia lactea lies in its unique sculptural form and eye-catching mottled stems.

The succulent plant housed in the black pot comes in a 80mm 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.
