Euphorbia Squarrosa

This spiny succulent is a popular choice amongst caudiciform succulent fans. Native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa, it is a spiny succulent that has a fleshy, underground root which erupts into many branches above the soil. Branches are creeping or semi-erect and around 20cm long, typically dark green, three-angled and twisted, with greyish spines. In bloom, small flowers are green with yellow and red centres.

Very easy care and fairly self-sufficient, provided given regular light watering and free-draining soil. Never allow them to sit in water. Likes a position of full sun to part sun. A stunning succulent to display
