Coral Cactus (Euphorbia lactea ‘Cristata’ grafted onto Euphorbia neriifolia)
Coral Cactus is a fascinating grafted succulent with a fan-shaped, crested top that resembles colorful ocean coral. The ruffled crest is often shades of green with hints of white, pink, or purple, creating a truly one-of-a-kind appearance. Despite its common name, it isn't actually a cactus—it's a grafted Euphorbia that combines two different plants into one striking specimen.
It’s an easy-care succulent that thrives with bright light and minimal watering.
