6" Euphorbia Ammak

Euphorbia ammak (Candelabra Cactus / African Candelabra Tree)
Euphorbia ammak is a dramatic, tree-like succulent often mistaken for a cactus, with tall, ribbed columns and short spines along its ridges. Its blue-green stems sometimes feature yellow variegation, making it one of the most eye-catching large euphorbias. Native to arid regions of the Arabian Peninsula, it brings bold, sculptural energy to indoor and outdoor spaces alike.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Loves full sun and bright light; indoors, place near a sunny window
💧 Water: Very drought tolerant—water deeply, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again
🌫 Humidity: Thrives in dry air; no added humidity needed
❄️ Temperature: Warmth is key (65–90°F); protect from frost and temperatures below 55°F
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic if ingested; sap can irritate skin)

Fun Fact: Though it looks like a cactus, Euphorbia ammak is actually a succulent from a completely different plant family. Its milky sap contains latex and can be irritating, so always handle with care. Mature plants can grow over 20 feet tall in their native habitat but stay smaller when grown in pots indoors. 🌵✨
