Euphorbia submammillaris [large]

Highlights

Euphorbia submammillaris (Berger): A wild looking oddity that somewhat resembles a bunch of spiny corncobs. This species has chalky stems lined with deep grooves. It branches freely and can eventually reach 8.0" tall. 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.
