Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Euphorbia Inermis seeds harvested and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Cultivation duration: Euphorbia Inermis is a moderately growing plant. Seeds can take between 2 to 4 weeks to germinate under optimal conditions, and the plant can develop into a dense structure of cylindrical branches that can reach up to 1 meter in height.
Special Features: Euphorbia Inermis is known for its thick, cylindrical, succulent branches that grow in a compact, branching pattern. Unlike many other Euphorbias, this species has no thorns, giving it a neat, aesthetic appearance. During spring and summer, the plant produces small white or yellow flowers at the top of the branches, which add a subtle touch of color. This succulent is very hardy and can adapt to various climatic conditions, making it especially suitable for xerophytic gardens and succulent collections.
Lighting: Prefers full sun or partial shade for optimal growth. Euphorbia Inermis needs at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to maintain its compact shape and healthy color.
Watering: Like all succulents, Euphorbia Inermis requires minimal watering. It is crucial to allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum as the plant enters a dormant period.
Pests: Euphorbia Inermis is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by scale insects or spider mites if kept in overly humid conditions. The use of environmentally friendly products is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Euphorbia Inermis is moderately cold hardy and can tolerate temperatures close to 5°C if kept dry. In regions with colder winters, it is recommended to grow it indoors or in a greenhouse.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a cactus and succulent mix containing coarse sand or gravel. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Euphorbia Inermis is primarily grown for its ornamental value. Enjoy its unique structure and delicate flowers in succulent collections, rock gardens, or as a houseplant.
Caution: Like many Euphorbia species, Euphorbia Inermis can produce a white, milky sap that is irritating to the skin and eyes. It is recommended to handle the plant carefully and avoid direct contact with the sap.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
