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.

Did you know?
Although it looks like a cactus, Euphorbia is not: its resemblance is due to convergent evolution. It is distinguished by its milky white sap, while true cacti do not have it.
Light
Very bright, indirect or filtered light. Ideal near a south or east window.
Water
Water when the substrate is completely dry. In summer every 1-2 weeks, let it rest in winter (every 3-4 weeks or less).
Substrate
Mineral substrate with high drainage: pumice, akadama and a little peat. We ship it ready in its substrate — no repotting needed for 12-18 months.
Temperature
Ideal between 18 and 28 °C. Tolerates down to 5 °C in winter if the substrate is dry. Protect from frost.
