Plant Category:
Succulent/Cactus

Plant/Product Description:
Euphorbia ferox is a striking succulent that features thick, spiny, cylindrical stems covered in dense spines. The stems are green and deeply ridged, giving the plant a sculptural, architectural appearance. The spines of Euphorbia ferox are long, dark, and sharp, adding to its dramatic presence. This plant is perfect for adding a spiny, spiky texture to succulent collections or cactus gardens. While it rarely blooms indoors, it can produce small, yellow-green flowers in the wild during the warmer months.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun encourages optimal growth and spine development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant, so it should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Euphorbia ferox is generally dormant during the cooler months and requires minimal watering.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or seeds.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Toxicity:
Euphorbia ferox is toxic to both humans and pets, so take caution when handling.
