Euphorbia cooperi

Description

Unlike other species of Euphorbia, lower branches of E. cooperi shed over time leaving just a crown of branches atop a tall solitary trunk. From a grey green trunk bright green branches emerge, irregularly shaped as they become narrow at the end of the growing season before becoming wide again. Protruding ribs are marked with a grey margin and short dark spines.

WATERING

Water when soil is dry 100%. Water only lightly during winter months.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March – November.
