Euphorbia officinarum subsp. echinus

Euphorbia officinarum

This rare spiky plant has thick branches covered in vibrantly coloured spines, hence the nickname pincushion! A real standout as well as being easy to propagate it is a very popular choice. 

How to care for your Euphorbia - 

Water:  Water well only once the soil is dry and allow to drain fully. 

Light: They need bright full sun. 

Humidity: Dry conditions would be sufficient.

Temperature: They need warm temperatures about 20 degrees C.

Toxic to cats & dogs? No, but the spikes can hurt!
