Euphorbia schoenlandii
succulent
Description
Euphorbia schoenlandii, also known as the succulent spurge, is a fascinating succulent characterized by its unusual growth habit. It forms a dense, shrubby plant with branching stems that are typically covered in small, sharp spines. The leaves are small, green, and deciduous, dropping off during periods of drought or dormancy. It produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are typically yellow or green. This plant is well-adapted to arid conditions, preferring well-draining soil and full sun. Handle with care, as the milky sap of Euphorbia can be irritating to the skin. Plant in a well-drained cactus or succulent mix and water sparingly.
