A striking and unusual succulent with a twisted, star-shaped caudex and creeping stems, Euphorbia stellata is a collector’s dream. Native to South Africa, it forms a sculptural base that looks almost like driftwood, topped with fleshy, green leaves that appear in warmer months. Its curious shape makes it a true conversation piece — perfect for shelves, sunny windowsills, or as part of a rare plant collection.
Plant Care
Light: Likes bright direct light but will tolerate bright indirect.
Watering: Wait until the soil is arid, then give it a good soak. Think drought and then tropical downpour. In winter months, cut wayyyyy back on the watering, and give it a drink when you notice it starting to pucker.
Temperature: This plant prefers to be warm, so avoid placing it below 10°C or any sudden temperature fluctuations.
Potting: A terracotta pot and succulent mix are ideal for these. Our Savvy Succa mix does the trick for this plant.
Hot tips: The sap from this plant can irritate the skin, so be sure to wear gloves when handling.
Pet Friendly: NO
