Euphorbia tubiglans

Description

Endemic to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape of South Africa, Euphorbia tubligans is a spineless dwarf succulent. As a caudiciform succulent, it has a fleshy rootstock, or caudex, from which its short main stem then branches out and several five-sided stems emerge. This Euphorbia is also dioecious (unisexual), meaning seperate individuals can produce either male or female flowers.

WATERING

Water when soil is dry 100%. Water lightly (if at all) during winter months.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March – November.

REPOTTING

It can stay in the same pot for a number of years as it is such a slow growing plant. If it does ever become too small for the pot it is in, repot into one size up and use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage such as perlite, pumice or grit.

POT SIZE / HEIGHT

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens’ height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.
