Euphorbia stapelioides 'Monadenium'

Euphorbia stapelioides 'Monadenium' is a distinctive and intriguing succulent plant from the Euphorbiaceae family, native to the dry regions of East Africa. This cultivar is recognized for its unique, fleshy, and spiny stems, which have a striking, almost cactus-like appearance. The plant's stems are typically green to bluish-green, thick, and covered in soft, small spines that give it a textured look. As a member of the Monadenium group, Euphorbia stapelioides produces thick, succulent branches that resemble a miniaturized version of a tree, with a compact growth habit, often forming low, sprawling clumps. During the growing season, it may produce small, star-shaped flowers that are typically yellow or orange, grouped in clusters near the tips of its branches. These flowers are not particularly large but add a delicate beauty to the plant. Known for its drought tolerance, Euphorbia stapelioides 'Monadenium' thrives in well-draining soil, preferring full sun and minimal watering, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or as a potted plant in arid conditions. As with many Euphorbias, caution is advised when handling this plant, as its milky sap can cause skin irritation and is toxic if ingested.
