Euphorbia debilispina
A unique and sculptural succulent with branching, spiny stems in shades of green to blue-gray. Euphorbia debilispina has an otherworldly look and thrives on neglect—just give it sun, warmth, and well-draining soil. As with many euphorbias, it exudes a milky sap when cut, so handle with care.
