Product Description:
Euphorbia tortilis, also known as Twisted Spurge or Spiral Euphorbia, is a fascinating succulent native to the arid regions of southern Africa. It features a central, columnar stem that twists and spirals as it grows, creating a unique and sculptural form. The stem is typically pale green with subtle reddish or purplish markings. Small, paired spines adorn the ridges of the stem, adding texture and visual interest. Tiny, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off, leaving the twisted stem as the main focal point.

Hardiness: USDA Zones 10+

Growing Instructions:
Thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can handle direct sunlight but should be protected from the harshest midday rays.  Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand can enhance drainage.  Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate some cool temperatures if kept dry. Minimal maintenance required. It is a relatively slow-growing succulent, making it a great choice for those seeking a low-maintenance plant.

Ships in 3.5" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

 

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
