Another new specimen for me to grow... I don't know exactly how it will develop, but the plant sent was already vivid pink-ribbed and I eagerly await to see the growth pattern. Euphorbias are always a favorite and never fail to intrigue! This plants looks kind of like a desert rose with its foliage, only showier!
United StatesExactly as advertised. In fact larger than expected.
United StatesThis succulent got to me quickly and was in great condition. I've had it for a few weeks now and it's still doing well.
United StatesHealthy plant
United StatesMy order was absolutely beautiful, except for this plant. It seems to be putting up a good fight but the leaves are next to none I have two new leaves coming and I'm hoping to get the spider mite infestation under control. It did not arrive with pretty pink variegation in the leaves. There were only two leaves. They looked pale and the life was ****** out of them. Unfortunately, all of my plants have suffered some sort of spider mite issue, I think because this plant was in the box. I would order cacti from here again but I have another succulent that is not doing well from the same order.
