Euphorbia enopla

Euphorbia enopla, native to South Africa, forms 5-angled stems with very straight, strong dark red spines. Branches generously form the base to form wide clusters. Can grow to approximately 3' in height in time. As with most Euphorbias, responds well to warmth, growing actively in late spring and during summer months. Porous soil with aequate drainage. Filtered to bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Water less during winter resting period. Protect from frost. All Euphorbias contain a white sap that can be irritating to eyes and mucous membranes. If contact is made with this white sap, take care to not touch face or eyes before washing hands with soap and water. Take care, as with all Euphorbias, to prevent contact with irritating white sap within the stems. Looks spiny but not bad.
