Euphorbia bupleurifolia x susannae

This small Euphorbia is a very decorative hybrid of two South African species. The first parent species, Euphorbia bupleurifolia , looks a bit like a pineapple stuck in the ground. It gives the hybrid its shape and leaves. The second parent species, Euphorbia susannae , is much smaller and leafless . The combination of these two species in this hybrid results in a truly chic miniature plant. The individual, thickened stems grow to about 5 cm tall and reach a diameter of 3 to 4 cm, bearing a crown of narrow leaves approximately 3 to 6 cm long. They produce numerous side branches which also develop into thickened stems, giving older plants a very symmetrical appearance. Very easy to care for and particularly attractive when given enough space to spread out, for example, in a bowl.

Like all members of the spurge family, it contains a milky sap in all parts of the plant.
