Product Description

The Euphorbia bupleurifolia is a small, caudex-forming succulent with a thick, woody stem resembling a pinecone. The textured, ridged surface of the caudex gives it an almost prehistoric look, while its long, slender green leaves emerge in a rosette from the top, resembling a miniature palm. During the growing season, this unique plant produces small, yellow-green cyathia (specialized Euphorbia flowers). Native to South Africa, Euphorbia bupleurifolia is drought-resistant and thrives in well-draining soil, making it a fascinating specimen for collectors of rare succulents.
