Euphorbia Handiensis
Euphorbia handiensis, also called the Handiense Spurge, is a captivating succulent native to the island of Socotra, Yemen. It's prized for its unusual, spiny appearance and its adaptability to arid conditions, making it a sought-after addition to any succulent collection or xeriscape garden.
Appearance:
Stems: Thick, cylindrical stems with 4-6 prominent ribs. The stems are typically a pale green to grayish-green color, sometimes tinged with red or brown.
Spines: Pairs of stout, sharp spines adorn the edges of the ribs, providing a protective barrier.
Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off.
Flowers: In the spring or summer, it may produce small, yellowish-green flowers at the tips of the stems.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Additional Information:
Euphorbia handiensis is a slow-growing succulent, making it a great choice for those seeking a low-maintenance plant.
It is a popular addition to rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a striking specimen plant in containers.
The first three photos serves a display purpose only. 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.
