Description
Euphorbia polygona is another fascinating, cactus-like succulent species. It is characterized by its multi-sided, columnar stems, giving it a geometric appearance. Its stems are adorned with small, sharp spines arranged in rows along the ridges. It produces small, yellow cyathia at the tips of the stems. Euphorbia polygona thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it suitable for xeriscaping and rock gardens. Be careful when handling it as the sap can be irritating. It is drought-tolerant once established. Propagate it from stem cuttings, allowing them to callous over before planting.
