Monadenium Ritchiei (Candelabra Spurge)
This fascinating succulent, also known as Euphorbia ritchiei, hails from the dry regions of Kenya.It's a unique and attractive addition to any collection, prized for its unusual form and striking coloration.
Appearance:
Stems: Monadenium ritchiei features upright, cylindrical stems adorned with spiraling rows of small, rounded protrusions called tubercles. These give the plant a textured, almost reptilian appearance. The stems can reach up to 60 cm in height and often take on a reddish hue when exposed to full sun.
Leaves: During its growing season, this succulent produces fleshy, green leaves that emerge from the tubercles.These leaves are typically deciduous, dropping off as the plant enters dormancy during drier periods.
Flowers: In late summer and fall, Monadenium ritchiei blooms with small, pink flowers called cyathia.
These emerge from the stem tips and add a touch of delicate beauty to the plant's robust form.
Growth Habits:
This succulent is a slow-growing species that thrives in warm, dry environments.It prefers well-draining soil and requires minimal watering.
Monadenium ritchiei spreads through underground shoots, eventually forming a dense clump.
This makes it an excellent choice for container gardening or as a focal point in a rock garden.
Care Tips:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light with some direct sun.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil:Use a well-draining cactus and succulent mix.
The Last 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.
