Euphorbia hedyotoides 🌱
Common name: None widely used (often just called by its Latin name)
Origin: Madagascar
Standout traits: Rare dwarf euphorbia with an upright, shrubby form and delicate narrow leaves. Its miniature tree-like habit makes it highly sought after by collectors.
FLOWER DETAILS
Produces small cyathia (euphorbia-type flowers) in soft green to yellow tones. While tiny, these blooms add an ornamental touch, especially when set against the fine foliage and woody stems, giving the plant a refined and exotic charm.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun; thrives on a sunny windowsill or under grow lights.
💧 Water: Moderate; let the topsoil dry between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.
🌡️ Humidity: Average to low humidity preferred.
🪴 Soil: Gritty, fast-draining succulent mix with sand or pumice.
🏺 Potting: Use small, well-draining pots; repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil.
🌱 Growth rate: Slow; grows just a few cm per year.
🐾 Pet friendly: No—like most euphorbias, sap can irritate if ingested.
