About Euphorbia enopla
Coming from mainly Africa and Madagascar, Euphorbia enopla is a succulent of the Euphorbiaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. The most striking thing about this plant is convergent evolution with cacti: fleshy body with spines, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
Your Euphorbia enopla has been grown at Succulentae, a specialized nursery in Almería, under real Mediterranean arid conditions — more resilient and better adapted than artificial greenhouse plants. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
