Euphorbia abdelkuri is a rare and unique succulent found on the island of Abd al Kuri in Yemen. It is known for its smooth, columnar, bluish-grey stems, which can grow up to 1.5 metres tall. Unlike many other euphorbias, it has hardly any thorns. This plant is extremely drought-resistant and thrives in hot, stony soils with very little water. Its unusual appearance and rarity make it sought after by collectors.

Euphorbia Abdelkuri is offered as a plant grafted onto Euphorbia rootstock - this makes it somewhat more robust and ‘easier to care for’ - nevertheless, overwatering should be avoided as it prefers (very) warm, dry conditions.

Not over-fertilised, therefore top healthy and robust (100% organic quality before quantity! ), potted in self-mixed permeable organic substrate in a clay pot, repotting only desired in 2-3 years; not hardy, slow-growing with overwintering between 11-02; easy-care, (very) sunny location; no waterlogging; you will love your new Euphorbia Abdelkuri - it looks like an art sculpture - when it has found its place in a sunny window...

Did you already know that?

The botanical name Euphorbia is derived from Euphorbos, the Greek physician from the 1st century AD. In 1753, the botanist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus named the entire genus Euphorbia in honour of this physician.

And yes, that's right, euphorbias are not cacti, even though many of them look quite similar to cacti.
