Another easy to care for addition to the succulent family, Euphorbia erytrea is an impressive presentation of living architecture. Capable of reaching heights of up to 2 meters indoors, this cactus displays a rippled, undulating silhouette with a serration of spines along its margins. A gathering of plantlets pinches in at the waist of the main stem, harkening back to the blazing arid climates of the Badlands.
Please note: The skin of Euphorbia erytrea can scratch, but their resilient nature allows them to scar over swiftly, enhancing its rugged charm.
Horty Hints
Stop the rot! Allow your cactus’ soil to completely dry out in between watering as excess water can lead to root rot.
Is it getting hot in here?! The Euphorbia erytrea lives its best life in a warm environment, ideally no cooler than 15°C.
Beware the burn! Your Euphorbia erytrea will love that extra dose of sunshine so pop it in the perfectly sunny spot but be careful to avoid leaf scorch!
