Common Names: Anoplia Euphorbia, Upright Euphorbia, Spiny African Euphorbia

Appearance

A compact, upright-growing euphorbia with multiple ribbed, columnar stems that grow in tight clusters.
Features small paired spines along the ribs and a rich green color that may develop reddish tones in strong light.
Typically stays under 12–18 inches tall in containers, making it ideal for pots and collectors.

Care & Growing Conditions

Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce significantly in winter.
Temperature: Thrives in USDA zones 9–11; protect from temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
Humidity: Prefers dry, low-humidity conditions.

Flower

Produces small, inconspicuous yellow-green cyathia near the stem tips, usually during warmer months.
Flowers are subtle and secondary to the plant’s sculptural form.

Toxicity
