Euphorbia Ankarensis (Christ’s Thorn)
Euphorbia Ankarensis (Christ’s Thorn)
Euphorbia ankarensis is a remarkable and visually striking succulent from the rugged terrains of Madagascar. This rare species is admired for its columnar growth habit and prominent thorn-covered ribs, which give it a formidable appearance.
Growth Habit: Upright, columnar cactus-like form.
Spines: Long, sharp spines line the edges of the ribs, providing a strong defensive mechanism and an eye-catching aesthetic.
Color: Rich green stems that can develop a reddish tinge under stress or with age.
Flowers: Produces small, yellow flowers that contrast beautifully against its dark, spiny body.
Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Full sun enhances its coloration and maintains its compact form.
Watering Needs: Moderate during the growing season; allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly in winter to prevent root rot.
Its imposing structure makes it a focal point in any succulent collection or as a standalone feature in a decorative pot.
Can be used in arrangements with other succulents and cacti to create a diverse, textured garden display.
. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
