Euphorbia - Lactea Crested Variegated
  • Euphorbia - Lactea Crested Variegated

    The Euphorbia Lactea Crested Variegated is a unique and striking succulent known for its unusual growth form and beautiful variegation.  

     

    Key Features:

    • Unique Growth Form: It has a crested growth habit, meaning it forms a fan-shaped, undulating crest instead of a typical stem. This gives it a sculptural and almost alien appearance.  
    • Variegation: The variegation adds a splash of color, with creamy white or yellow markings contrasting beautifully with the plant's green and sometimes reddish hues.  
    • Spines: The plant is covered in short, sharp spines, which are a defense mechanism.

     

    Care Tips:

    • Light: It prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.  
    • Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.  
    • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix.  
    • Temperature: It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but avoid extreme cold.
    • Caution: The sap of Euphorbia plants can be irritating to the skin and eyes, so handle it with care.  

    Overall, the Euphorbia Lactea Crested Variegated is a low-maintenance and visually stunning succulent that can add a unique touch to any collection. It's a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts due to its unusual appearance and relatively easy care.

     

    As it is a Euphorbia, care must be taken when handling these plants. White sap emerges from leaf breaks, and this sap is poisonous.
