About Euphorbia aggregata variegata
Coming from mainly Africa and Madagascar, Euphorbia aggregata variegata is a succulent of the Euphorbiaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. Its most distinctive feature is convergent evolution with cacti: fleshy body with spines, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
At Succulentae we grow every Euphorbia aggregata variegata directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. That's why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
