Euphorbia majus

Euphorbia majus, also known as Monadenium majus, is a distinctive cylindrical, multi-stemmed succulent, known for its long, slender stems and shallow tubercles. Native to the arid regions of Ethiopia and Somalia, this plant adds an exotic touch to South African gardens with its unique form and subtle floral display.

Key Features:

• Cylindrical Stems: Euphorbia majus features long, thin, cylindrical stems that grow upright, creating a striking and unusual structure. These stems are adorned with shallow tubercles, adding texture and visual interest.
• Subtle Flowers: The plant produces small, white to pinkish flowers, which emerge at the tips of the stems. While not the main attraction, these delicate blooms add a gentle contrast to the green stems.
• Exotic Origin: Native to Ethiopia and Somalia, this plant brings a piece of the African landscape to your garden, thriving in conditions similar to its natural habitat.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Ensure it receives plenty of light to maintain its robust growth and healthy appearance.
• Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant is drought-tolerant and does well in dry conditions.
