Euphorbia Ingens Albo Variegata is a plant species from the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) and belongs to the genus Euphorbia. It is also known as candelabra euphorbia and is a popular houseplant due to its interesting appearance.

The plant has a strong, upright trunk that can reach a height of up to 12 metres in the wild. In cultivation, however, the plant remains smaller and usually reaches a height of around 1-2 metres. The trunk has a beautiful white variegation (‘Albo Variegata’). 

The leaves are small, round and sit close to the stem. They are usually only about 1 cm long and fall off over time. The flowers are inconspicuous and appear in summer, followed by small fruits.

Euphorbia Ingens Albo Variegata needs plenty of sunlight and should therefore be placed in a bright position. The plant is relatively easy to care for and only needs to be watered occasionally. However, it is important to protect the plant from draughts and cold.

Did you 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 gave the entire genus the name Euphorbia in honour of this doctor.

And yes, that's right, euphorbias are not cacti, even though many of them look pretty much like a cactus.
