Euphorbia lactea, commonly known as the "Dragon Bones Cactus" or "Mottled Spurge," is a captivating and unique succulent that commands attention with its sculptural form and intricate patterns.
Euphorbia lactea is well-suited for container gardening and thrives in well-draining soil. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Its low-maintenance.
Euphorbia lactea, common names include candelabrum tree, candelabra cactus, dragon bones or mottled candlestick. In the wild it will grow quite tall, but I always keep my euphorbias in check by trimming them. Euphorbias do contain a milky sap which can be poisonous so be careful when handling. I have been growing them for over thirty five years and have never had any problems.
