Euphorbia Lactea with Ceramic Pot

The Euphorbia lactea, also known as the Mottled Spurge, is a succulent originally from the tropical regions of India. The plant grows there in dry, rocky environments where little other vegetation is found. 

Caring for the Euphorbia lactea requires a sunny location in the house and well-draining soil, to prevent root rot.

A distinctive feature of the Euphorbia lactea is its grooved stems with small spikes, giving it a striking and unique appearance

The plant prefers warm temperatures and dry conditions, which corresponds with its natural habitat.

When watering it's important to be moderate and to allow the plant to fully dry out between waterings. In winter the plant goes dormant, and watering should be reduced.
