Euphorbia milii
Euphorbia millii is a succulent climbing shrub growing to 1.8 m tall, with densely spiny stems. The straight, slender spines help it scramble over other plants. The leaves are found mainly on new growth. The flowers are small, petal-like bracts, variably red, pink, yellow or white.
Flowering Season
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
In the warmer months, this plant will flower and the small flower heads will last until the temperature starts to fall. They may become dormant as it gets cooler and the daytime light reduces.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Cuttings are difficult to root thus pot grown plants should be sought from specialist (succulent) growers.
