Origin
The Euphorbia ingens 'Curly', also known as 'Curly' Euphorbia, originally hails from South Africa. This plant belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, a diverse genus that contains many species spread over tropical and subtropical areas.

Characteristics
The Euphorbia ingens 'Curly' is characterised by its twisted, green stems that resemble tree branches. These stems are adorned with small, woolly clusters that form the flowers of the plant. The 'Curly' variant differs from the standard Euphorbia ingens with its more compact growth and twisted shape, giving it a unique appearance. In nature, the plant can grow up to 12 meters high, but usually stays smaller indoors.

Care
The Euphorbia ingens 'Curly' requires a sunny spot, but can also thrive in partial shade. Due to its origin, this plant is well resistant to drought and only needs a small amount of water. It's important to allow the soil to completely dry out before the next watering to prevent root rot. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, watering should be significantly reduced. The Euphorbia ingens 'Curly' is easy to maintain, making it an ideal plant for beginner gardeners.
