Euphorbia ferox (Murraysburg)

Euphorbia ferox (Murraysburg) is a unique succulent shrublet from the Murraysburg area of South Africa, known for its striking green, columnar stems. This plant is perfect for adding a bold, sculptural element to South African gardens.

Key Features:
Columnar Growth: Euphorbia ferox (Murraysburg) branches from the base, forming rounded clusters of columnar stems. These densely packed stems create a robust, bushy appearance that adds visual interest to any garden.
Green, Spiny Stems: The stems are green and resemble corncobs, covered with thick, prominent thorns. The variation in stem thickness provides a rugged, textured look that makes this plant a standout feature.
Native Habitat: Indigenous to the Murraysburg area, this plant thrives in the arid, rocky environments typical of South Africa’s semi-desert regions.

Care Requirements:
Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Adequate sunlight enhances growth and maintains the vibrant green colour and spiny texture of the stems.
Water: Requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, particularly in winter. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Thrives in well-draining, sandy or rocky soils. Use a succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure proper drainage.
Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 15-30°C. Drought-tolerant but should be protected from frost.
Propagation: Easily propagated from cuttings. Allow cuttings to dry for a few days before planting to prevent rot.

Dimensions: Typically reaches 30-40cm and can spread up to 30-40cm

Plants on offer: 7-10cm rooted. Shipped without pot or soil.
