Euphorbia Heterodoxa

PLANT:

• Euphorbia heterodoxa is a fascinating and uncommon succulent species native to Brazil, admired for its upright, ribbed stems and striking mottled coloration that ranges from green to deep reddish-brown under strong light. The plant often develops multiple branching stems from its base, giving it a sculptural, candelabra-like form. Small yellow-green cyathia (flowers) appear near the stem tips during the growing season. Its unusual texture and coloration make it a prized addition to any Euphorbia collection.
• Water Needs:
  Low; water sparingly during active growth, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Keep nearly dry in winter.
• Light Requirement:
  Full sun to bright indirect light. Strong light enhances the plant’s deep pigmentation and compact shape.
