add a pot to fit this plant
Euphorbia polyacantha is a striking sculptural succulent with upright, columnar stems lined with prominent spines. Its architectural form and textured ridges make it an eye-catching addition to any bright, modern interior or desert-inspired plant collection.
Native to arid regions, this Euphorbia thrives in bright light and dry conditions. Give it plenty of sunlight but avoid intense summer scorch. Water sparingly from April to September, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and keep completely dry in winter. Feed fortnightly during spring and summer only.
Please note: like many Euphorbia, this plant produces a milky sap if damaged. Avoid contact with skin and keep out of reach of pets and children.
