Further information on your plant
All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk. And lastly, minor flaws in leaves might be present and will not be covered for compensation. It's worth noting that plants naturally age like people and are rarely perfect.
Euphorbia lactea Cristata, or the Dragon Bones Tree, is a quirky, eye-catching plant that’s super easy to care for. Its chunky, upright stems have a cool, angular shape, sometimes twisting as they grow, giving it a bit of a wild look. The deep green stems are often streaked with white or yellow, making each plant unique. Even though it looks like a cactus, it’s actually a Euphorbia, which means it has a milky sap that can be irritating—so it’s best to handle it with care. Originally from tropical Asia, it loves warm, dry conditions and plenty of bright light.
If you’re after a tough, low-maintenance plant, this one’s a winner. It hardly needs any water and prefers soil that drains quickly, so overwatering is pretty much the only way to mess it up.
Note: Whilst the image shows a pink variety, they are not always this colour - sometimes a bit more purple.
