Euphorbia griseola

Euphorbia griseola is a distinctive succulent native to South Africa. Known for its unique candelabra shape, this plant features a crown of branches that create a striking visual display.

Key Features:
Candelabra Shape: Euphorbia griseola develops a crown of branches that grow outward and then upward from a very short stem, forming a distinctive candelabra-like structure. This unique growth habit adds an ornamental touch to any plant collection.
Ridged Branches: The branches have noticeable ridges, which give the plant a textured appearance and enhance its visual interest.
Red Flowers: During its blooming period, red flowers appear along the ridges towards the tips of the branches, adding a splash of vibrant colour to the overall green foliage.
Native Habitat: Found in the semi-arid regions of South Africa, where it thrives in rocky and well-drained soils.

Care Requirements:
Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Adequate sunlight helps maintain the plant’s vibrant colour and candelabra shape.
Water: Requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
