Euphorbia horrida, commonly known as the African Milk Barrel, is a striking succulent native to South Africa.

Growth Habit: Euphorbia horrida grows slowly into a cylindrical shape that can eventually reach up to 3 feet in height. It forms a single stem when young and may branch out from the base as it matures.

Leaf Characteristics: This plant is characterized by its thick, fleshy, blue-green stems covered with long, sharp spines that can be quite dense.

Flowers: The flowers of Euphorbia horrida, known as cyathia, appear in clusters around the stems' tips, typically during late spring or early summer.

Container Gardening: Well-suited for cultivation in containers where its height and texture can be showcased. It pairs well with other succulents and desert plants in mixed arrangements.

Drought Tolerance: Extremely drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established.

Low Maintenance: Requires little care beyond occasional watering and feeding, making it suitable for those who prefer low-maintenance gardening.

Visual Impact: Provides significant architectural interest and can serve as a focal point in garden design or indoor settings.

Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Full sun promotes the best growth and spine development.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
