Euphorbia Resinifera
Euphorbia resinifera, commonly known as the Resin Spurge, is a captivating and unique succulent native to Morocco. Its unique form and texture make it a captivating addition to xeriscapes, rock gardens, or even container plantings.
Appearance:
Stems: The plant forms a dense cluster of upright, four-sided stems with distinct, spiraling ridges. These stems are typically a bluish-green color, sometimes tinged with red or brown, especially when exposed to ample sunlight. The ridges are adorned with small, paired spines, adding a textured and protective element.
Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off, leaving the photosynthesizing stems as the main source of energy production.
Flowers: In the spring or summer, Euphorbia resinifera 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:
Caudex Formation: Over time, the base of the plant can develop a thickened, woody caudex, adding to its visual appeal.
Low Maintenance: This succulent is relatively slow-growing and requires minimal care, making it suitable for those seeking a hassle-free plant.
The first photo 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.
