Euphorbia lactea cristata 4"

Mottled Spurge / Coral Cactus / Mermaid's Tail Bloom Period:  N/A Light: Moderate Indirect (Medium) Water: Water Sparingly (Low Moisture) Size: Height 18 – 24"  Width 16 – 20’’ Zone: N/A Patent: None Like an underwater coral, a prickly, undulating crest perches on an upright trunk, the happy combination of two succulents grafted together. With its tightly pleated fan shape, this is a strikingly textural plant which will provide a sculptural contrast among leafy houseplants. The edges of the silvery green blades often take on a rosy hue for added delight. Virtually indestructible, Euphorbia plants are easy to care for on a warm, sunny windowsill and can be moved outside for the warm summer months. Make sure the pot drains completely after watering and allow it to dry out before watering again. When cut, all Euphorbia plants exude a caustic white latex which is a skin and eye irritant as well as poisonous, so use caution when pruning or cleaning.
