The Spineless Spurge: A Unique Textured Succulent

Euphorbia inermis is a captivating succulent that will add a touch of the exotic to your plant collection. This intriguing species is native to South Africa and is prized for its unique spineless form and intriguing growth habit.

Distinctive Features

Stems: Thick, cylindrical stems with prominent tubercles. The stems are typically a grey-green colour and have a textured appearance. Unlike many other Euphorbias, this species lacks spines, giving it a smoother, more approachable look.
Leaves: Tiny, ephemeral leaves that appear briefly during the growing season. The leaves are typically a bright green colour and have a smooth texture.
Flowers: Produces small, yellow flowers in spring and summer. The flowers are not the main attraction, but they add a touch of delicate beauty to this fascinating plant.
Growth Habit: This Euphorbia has a low, spreading growth habit. It typically reaches a height of 10-15cm (4-6 inches) and forms a dense, textured clump.

Care Tips

Light: Bright, indirect light is best. While it enjoys some direct sunlight, intense afternoon sun can scorch the stems.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to be cautious.
Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. You can also add perlite or pumice to improve drainage.
Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing this succulent to cold draughts or frost.
Fertiliser: Use a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
Propagation: This Euphorbia can be propagated through stem cuttings or seeds. Simply remove a healthy stem, allow it to callus over, and then place it on well-draining soil. Roots will typically form within a few weeks.

Additional Notes

Euphorbia inermis is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced growers.
This succulent is a wonderful addition to any indoor garden, rock garden, or succulent arrangement.
With its unique texture and intriguing appearance, this Euphorbia is sure to be a conversation starter.
