Candelabra spurge
Euphorbia lactea Cristata is a spectacular crested form of Euphorbia lactea, prized for its fan-shaped, convoluted growth that gives it an almost coral-like appearance. Native to tropical Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka, E. lactea is a hardy, drought-tolerant succulent that has become widely cultivated in warm climates.
🌿 Care Guide
Provide ample sunlight in the day, preferably morning sun. Grow in a well draining succulent potting mix, preferably Cinder. Water sparsely, preferably once in 6-7 days in summer, to promote better caudex development. Reduce watering significantly in Winter. Save from excessive cold/frost in winter. NOTE: the plants of the Euphorbia genus leak a milky sap when cut/injured, which is highly caustic in nature. Exposure of eyes and mouth to the sap should be avoided while handling the plants.
