Plant Details:

Evergreen

Foliage

Features a distinctive, fleshy, green stem that grows in a zigzag pattern. Fleshy, ovate leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. Variegated forms feature beautiful splashes of white, cream, and pink.

Flowering Period & Fruit

May produce small, reddish, slipper-shaped bracts at the tips of the stems. Note: Like all Euphorbias, the plant contains a milky white sap that is a skin and eye irritant. Handle with care.

Sun Tolerance

Requires bright light, including several hours of direct sunlight, to thrive. A south or west-facing window is ideal. The pink variegation is most intense in high light.

Maintenance

Easy. A very low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant. Water thoroughly only when the soil has dried out completely to prevent root rot. Prune to encourage branching.

Root System

A shallow root system adapted to arid conditions. Requires a very fast-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
