Plant Category:
Succulent/Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
Euphorbia horrida is a spiny, columnar succulent that forms thick, erect stems with prominent ribs, each adorned with sharp, spiny projections. The plant’s spines are thick, long, and yellowish, creating a dramatic contrast against the deep green body. It can grow quite large, making it an excellent choice for larger containers, cactus gardens, or as a focal point in succulent arrangements. This cactus rarely flowers indoors, but it can produce small, yellow-green flowers in the wild.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun promotes optimal growth and spine development.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
- Soil: Requires a 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 and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Euphorbia horrida is generally dormant in winter, requiring less water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or seeds.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Euphorbia horrida is toxic to both humans and pets.
