Euphorbia anoplia - Tanzanian Zipper Plant [large]

Highlights

Tanzanian Zipper Plant (Euphorbia anoplia): A unique succulent that grows as clusters of tall, leafless stems. The stems have striations of green tones and prominent ridges. This is an African milk barrel, but its growth habit resembles that of the North American barrel cacti. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

Please Note: Euphorbia contain a white, latex sap that can cause skin irritation or allergic reaction. Use gloves and eye protection to handle.

Euphorbia will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 75% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Reduce watering frequency further during winter dormancy.
