Euphorbia rhombifolia (syn. bayeri)

Euphorbia rhombifolia (syn. bayeri) is a distinctive creeping succulent known for its elegant, multi-branched structure. It is a captivating succulent that adds a distinctive touch to any garden with its unique, creeping growth habit and grey-green branches.

Key Features:

• Striking Foliage: Euphorbia rhombifolia showcases long, thin branches that are grey-green in colour. The branches are intricately multi-branched and form a sprawling, creeping habit that covers the ground gracefully.
• Dioecious Nature: This species is dioecious, meaning that it has separate male and female plants, adding an extra layer of interest for collectors and enthusiasts.
• Natural Habitat: Adapted to the harsh conditions of the Namibian and South African landscapes, this plant thrives in well-draining, sandy soils and can withstand extreme drought, making it well-suited to the local climate and adds a unique touch to South African gardens.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Ensure the plant receives plenty of sunlight to maintain its vibrant foliage and healthy growth.
• Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant is highly drought-tolerant and does not require frequent watering.
• Soil: Requires well-draining, sandy soil to mimic its natural habitat. A cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 15-30°C. Protect from frost, as prolonged exposure to cold temperatures can damage the plant.
• Propagation: Can be propagated from cuttings, typically taken during the warmer months when the plant is actively growing.

Dimensions: Typically grows up to 20-30cm in height and can spread up to 1 metre, forming a dense, ground-covering mat.

Plants on offer: 10-20cm rooted. Shipped without pot or soil.
