Pictured is my Euphorbia mammillaris variegata in bloom.
He hails from South Africa.
It reaches a height of about 20 cm and the thickness of its trunk is about 5 cm.
All Euphorbia produce a milky sap when the stems and leaves are broken or cut.
Therefore, you need to work with the plant with gloves to avoid possible burns.
But despite the toxic substances that its milky juice contains, it is used in folk medicine as an analgesic, laxative and antihelminthic, as well as for kidney diseases.
Euphorbia mammillaris variegata tolerates direct sunlight well.
In winter, the dormant period, it is better to keep it at a temperature of + 15-18 ° C.
With watering you need to be careful.
