Euphorbia horrida var. striata alba is a spectacular and exotic succulent plant, originally from South Africa.

The plant has a robust appearance, covered with long and stiff thorns, which give it a dramatic and attractive allure. It is ideal for collections of rare succulents or for modern interior decoration.

Care:

1. Light : Euphorbia horrida prefers strong light and direct sun, but it can also tolerate intense indirect light. It is important that it be positioned in a well-lit place to keep its colors and healthy shape.

2. Watering : Requires moderate watering, specific to succulent plants. Let the soil dry completely between waterings. During the winter, watering must be significantly reduced or stopped, in order to respect the natural rest cycle.

3. Soil : Grows best in a well-drained soil, suitable for cacti and succulents. Add sand or perlite to ensure proper drainage and prevent water accumulation.

4. Temperature : Euphorbia horrida develops optimally at temperatures between 18-30°C. It does not tolerate frost, so it must be protected from temperatures below 10°C.

5. Fertilization : During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize the plant monthly with a specific fertilizer for cacti and succulents, diluted to half the concentration. Fertilization is not necessary during the rest period.
