Plant/Product Description:
Euphorbia lactea variegata cristata, commonly known as the Grafted Crested Coral Cactus, is a visually stunning succulent that features a unique crested growth pattern, often forming wavy, fan-like structures. This variety is grafted onto a rootstock, creating a striking visual contrast between the green base and the variegated, creamy-white, and green top. The crested form gives the plant a coral-like appearance, making it a favorite among cactus collectors. In addition to its unique form, it produces small, inconspicuous flowers that add a touch of delicate beauty.
Plant Care Notes:

- Propagation: Can be propagated by cuttings, although grafting is typically used to maintain the desired form.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Euphorbia lactea variegata cristata is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. It should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
