Euphorbia ferox hybrid

One ribbed green stem surrounded by a lively cluster of smaller offsets gives this Euphorbia ferox hybrid a striking, sculptural form. Its contrasting ridges and prominent spines make it a plant you’ll want to admire from every angle.

The Euphorbia ferox parent species is native to South Africa. As a cultivated hybrid, this plant does not have its own wild native range.

This compact cluster brings bold character to a bright plant shelf. Give it a sunny spot, a draining pot, and a measured approach to watering, and let its unusual shape do the talking.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright light; introduce direct sun gradually to avoid scorching.
• Water: Water when the soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain away.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage.
• Temperature: Keep warm and protect from frost.
• Safety: Handle carefully around the spines. Damaged stems may release milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes; keep away from pets and children.
