WA Restricted - Cannot be shipped to Western Australia.
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
- The sap of this succulent is toxic; handle with care.
