HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Euphorbia squarrosa


Euphorbia squarrosa is from the Eastern Cape Province, where it is found in the Albany, Fort Beaufort, Bathurst and King Williams Town districts.

The plants have a deep tuber and are related to Euphorbia stellata, but the prostrate stems are mostly three angled and lack the feather-like markings of E stellata. Euphorbia squarrosa is also a more robust grower.

The cultivation of Euphorbia squarrosa is relatively easy. A well drained soil is essential.
