Origin
The Euphorbia erytrea, also known as the candelabra plant, has its origin in East Africa. The plant can especially be found in countries such as Eritrea and Ethiopia. The natural habitat of this unique plant consists of dry, rocky areas. As a result, the Euphorbia erytrea is well adapted to conditions of prolonged drought.
Characteristics
Euphorbia erytrea is a type of succulent that has a tree-like growth habit. The plant can reach a height of up to 5 metres. The trunk of the Euphorbia erytrea is grey and has a waxy texture, with protrusions from which the foliage grows. The leaves are narrow, long, and pointed, with a bright green colour. It is a fast-growing type that requires a lot of sunlight and warmth to thrive well.
Care
Taking care of the Euphorbia erytrea begins with choosing the right location, a bright and warm spot is ideal. Watering should be done sparingly, as overwatering can lead to root rot. This succulent requires little soil moisture, meaning that the soil should dry between watering sessions. Moreover, it needs little feeding, fertilising once a year with a cactus fertiliser is typically sufficient. With proper care, the Euphorbia erytrea will continue to grow throughout the year.
