Origin
The Euphorbia baioensis is a plant species that has its origin in Africa, specifically in Kenya. It belongs to the family of the Euphorbiaceae and is also known as Bayausu. It was first scientifically described in 2003 by Susan Carter Holmes.

Characteristics
The Euphorbia baioensis is a succulent plant and generally forms small shrubs or tree-like structures. The plant has a distinctive appearance due to its light grey clumping trunks which are covered with very small, soft spikes. It has small, green to light pink flowers that appear on short stems. The plant produces milky sap when the stems get damaged.

Care
The care of the Euphorbia baioensis is fairly straightforward, as it is a very resistant plant that prefers a dry and warm climate. It is important to provide well-draining soil and prevent the roots from standing in water to avoid root rot. The Euphorbia baioensis has minimal water requirement, with less requirement in colder months. It thrives best in full sun to partial shade and it is not resistant to frost.
