Euphorbia ingens – Candelabra Tree-Cowboy Cactus Big Size

This cool cactus embodies the serene arid landscapes and setting suns of South America and Atrica. Succulent green, triangular trunks reach for the sky, casting scalloped shadows in the sunlight. A huddle of secondary branches cling to the waist of the main stem, displaying a geometric margin which form rippled furrows along the cactus’ surface. This easy-care succulent will tolerate most environments, making it perfect for beginners.

Please note: The skin of Euphorbia ingens can scratch, but their resilient nature allows them to scar over swiftly,enhancing its rugged charm. Each specimen really is unique, and their shapes can vary slightly.
