I am a succulent that is often mistaken for a cactus, but I'm actually a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. My stems are typically green, ribbed, and covered in spines. I produce small, inconspicuous flowers.
- My milky sap is toxic and can cause skin irritation.
- I am native to Africa and often grown as an ornamental.
- My stems can form many branches giving me a candelabra-like appearance.
- I am very drought tolerant and prefer well drained soil.
