Euphorbias are succulents that are often mistaken as cacti, but they are not cacti. There are a hundreds of varieties of them, ranging from pot size spherical clumps to large spiky columnar. They are easy to grow, many of them have “odd”, unique features, making them a great group to explore for for “alternative looking” collection.

When a part of the plant is cut, Euphorbia oozes white milky sap that is antifungal and antibacterial to the plant, but are irritant to our skin so please wash your hands upon contact (do not touch your eyes).
