Where it grows
Euphorbia pugniformis is native to the Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa.
Special features
This crested Euphorbia has a wave-like growth form that grows into large, attractive clumps with time. It may produce the occasional normal stem.
Care Guide
Euphorbia pugniformis prefers full sun and should not be kept in shade. The soil medium should be well draining, and preferably include both organic material and gritty components. Water well in summer, taking care not to water on top of the plant, as water may get stuck on the crested stems and cause rot. Give it much less water during the cooler months.
