Euphorbia lactea 'Dragon Bones' Variegated (WA Prohibited)

Euphorbia lactea is a spiny, angular succulent shrub native to India and Sri Lanka, typically found in dry, tropical scrubland. This cultivar is the variegated form of Euphorbia lactea, commonly known as 'Dragon Bones', and features pale cream and green mottling across its sharply ridged stems. It often develops irregular crests and knobby protrusions, contributing to its architectural appearance. The plant produces small, inconspicuous leaves near stem tips, which are usually short-lived.

Care Tips:

• Light – Requires bright light; full sun to light shade is suitable
• Water – Allow to dry out completely between waterings; very drought-tolerant
• Humidity – Prefers dry conditions; avoid overly humid environments
• Media – Use a well-drained cactus or succulent mix
• Temperature – Keep above 10°C; protect from frost
• Fertiliser – Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted cactus fertiliser
