Kenyan Spurge

Euphorbia saxorum, commonly known as Kenyan Spurge, is an intriguing succulent native to Kenya. This unique plant showcases long, spiny stems that grow upright, showcasing their dark green hue at the base, transitioning to a captivating deep purple towards their ends. The stems have a fascinating ability to twist and curve, and when the plant becomes laden with growth, they elegantly droop down.

This captivating succulent can reach heights of up to 30cm, and when cultivated in a hanging basket, its stems can gracefully dangle up to 50cm long. Euphorbia saxorum thrives during the summer growing season, and it flourishes when placed in a spot with partial to full sun exposure.

As a low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plant, Euphorbia saxorum requires minimal care. Plant it in well-draining soil and allow the soil to dry out between watering sessions. However, handling this plant demands caution, as it secretes a milky sap that can be toxic and may cause adverse reactions if it comes into contact with the skin or eyes. Keep this stunning Kenyan Spurge for ornamental purposes only, appreciating its beauty and unique form while taking care to avoid ingestion or skin contact.
