Euphorbia Ingens
Euphorbia ingens, also known as the Candelabra Tree or Naboom, is a magnificent and iconic succulent tree native to the arid regions of southern Africa. Its striking, upward-reaching branches resemble a giant candelabra, making it a dramatic focal point in any landscape.
Appearance:
Form & Size: This impressive tree can reach towering heights of up to 30-40 feet, with a thick, sturdy trunk and numerous upward-branching arms.
Branches: The branches are thick, green, and segmented, with 4-5 prominent ridges adorned with small, paired spines.
Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off, leaving the green, photosynthesizing stems as the main source of energy production.
Flowers: Small, yellowish-green flowers bloom on the upper ridges of the branches, typically from late autumn to winter.
Growth Habits & Care:
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun exposure.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Additional Information:
Longevity: Euphorbia ingens is a slow-growing but long-lived tree, capable of surviving for decades.
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.
