This Euphorbia is native to southern Africa, specifically found in parts of Mozambique and South Africa, where it thrives in arid conditions. It is recognized for its distinct appearance- a tuberous caudex (a swollen, water-storing root structure) and slender, sometimes spiny stems. This juvenile size currently exhibits its characteristic stems, but the trunk (caudex) will be more apparent as the plant matures. Currently, the caudex is peeking out from the base of the plant and can be better observed when the top layer of soil is brushed away. 

CARE:

  • This plant does best with consistent bright, indirect sunlight. A few hours of MORNING or LATE AFTERNOON sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged exposure to direct afternoon sunlight during peak summer months, which can burn the plant.
  • Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, then give the plant a thorough drink. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially when the caudex is fully formed, so it’s important to err on the side of underwatering.
  • Ensure that the soil does not stay soggy, and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil, which can quickly lead to root rot.
  • Avoid using heavy potting soils or soils that retain too much moisture, so opt for a well-draining, gritty potting media. 
  • This plant does well in drier environments.
