This plant displays a flower that appears dirty white or very pale pink with a green center. It is easy to grow but usually doesn't grow very tall as segments tend to fall off.

Disappointed

This is the 2nd time I ordered from Planet Desert. The first order was perfect. I was very impressed with the large healthy plants and the shipping. This time not so much. The Euphorbua hamata arrived with the tip broken off. The leaves of the Adenium were crushed and the pot of the Tephrocactus was damaged.
