Cow Horn Euphorbia
Description
Euphorbia grandicornis, also known as the cowhorn euphorbia, is a striking succulent shrub native to South Africa.

Small, inconspicuous flowers appear along the edges of the stems. This euphorbia thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it a good choice for arid gardens. Be cautious when handling this plant, as the sap is irritating to skin and eyes. Provide well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. The cowhorn euphorbia is a dramatic and easy-care addition to any succulent collection, offering a unique architectural element. This plant can grow quite large over time if given the space.
