Euphorbia enopla
Pincushion Euphorbia
Description
Euphorbia enopla, also known as the Porcupine Euphorbia, is a striking cactus-like succulent distinguished by its cylindrical, spiny stems. The stems are ribbed and covered in long, sharp spines, which give the plant a formidable appearance. The plant's small yellow flowers are located at the apex of the stems. Native to South Africa, this plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun conditions. This plant's spines are really sharp, so handling must be done with care. When cultivating, make sure that the soil mix is appropriate for cactus and succulents, to avoid water logging. Propagating Euphorbia enopla can be done through stem cuttings, but allow the cut ends to callus over before planting. With its unusual appearance and low maintenance needs, the Porcupine Euphorbia is a favorite among collectors and a striking addition to any succulent garden.
