Euphorbia Fruticosa

Euphorbia Fruticosa is a distinctive, branching succulent prized for its unusual architectural form and dense clusters of upright, ribbed green stems. Native to southern Africa, this sculptural species gradually forms a compact, clumping growth habit and makes an excellent addition to succulent collections, bright windowsills, and warm outdoor spaces.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS

Insert the cutting about 1" deep into the soil. When the soil is dry, water the cutting sparingly. Roots should begin to form within two weeks. Keep the cutting in bright shade during the rooting period. To prevent the leaves from getting sunburned, gradually acclimatize the plant to outdoor conditions and full sun.
