Indian Corn Cob Euphorbia, botanically listed as Euphorbia mammillaris f. variegata, is a live succulent plant selected for its distinctive form and ornamental appeal. Natural color, size, form, and presentation may vary slightly with season, maturity, and growing conditions.

Morphological Characteristics


Euphorbia mammillaris f. variegata, commonly known as ‘Indian Corn Cob’, is a unique succulent belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. This plant is noted for its striking, columnar stems that resemble small corn cobs. The stems are cylindrical and segmented, with prominent tubercles arranged in vertical rows. The variegated form displays a beautiful pattern of creamy white and green on the stems, enhancing its ornamental appeal.


Along the ridges of the stems, small, sharp spines may be present, and tiny, short-lived leaves can emerge from the tips of the tubercles. During the blooming season, ‘Indian Corn Cob’ produces small, yellow cyathia—the specialized flower structure characteristic of Euphorbias—at the tips of the stems.


Growth Habits


This succulent is a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 30 cm (12 inches) in height. It tends to branch at the base, forming clusters of upright stems over time. Native to South Africa, ‘Indian Corn Cob’ thrives in arid environments with well-draining, sandy soils. It is adapted to withstand periods of drought but is sensitive to overwatering and excessive moisture.


Maintenance Points


Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to full sun. Adequate light helps maintain the vibrant variegation and encourages healthy growth. In hot climates, providing some afternoon shade can prevent sunburn on the stems.

Watering: Requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and stem rot. During winter dormancy, reduce watering frequency significantly.

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Incorporating perlite or coarse sand enhances drainage and mimics the plant’s natural habitat.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 15-25°C (59-77°F). The plant is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C (50°F). In colder regions, it is best grown indoors or moved inside during the winter months.

Fertilization: Feed sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month. Over-fertilization can harm the plant and should be avoided.

Potting: Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Terracotta pots are ideal as they allow excess moisture to evaporate, reducing the risk of overwatering.

Handling: Be cautious when handling the plant due to its spines and the toxic sap it produces.


Reproduction Method


Euphorbia mammillaris f. variegata can be propagated through stem cuttings and seeds.


1. Stem Cuttings:

Preparation: Wear gloves to protect your skin from the toxic sap. Use a clean, sharp knife to cut a healthy stem segment.

Callusing: Allow the cutting to dry for several days until the cut end forms a callus and the sap has stopped oozing.

Planting: Plant the callused end into well-draining soil.

Aftercare: Place the cutting in a warm location with bright, indirect light. Water lightly after a few days and then sparingly until roots establish.

2. Seeds:

Collection: Harvest seeds from mature plants if available.

Sowing: Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining soil mix without covering them deeply.

Germination: Keep the soil slightly moist and place the container in a warm area with indirect sunlight. Germination may take several weeks.

Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots.


Additional Tips


Safety Note: The sap of Euphorbia plants is toxic and can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling the plant or taking cuttings. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth, and keep the plant away from children and pets.

Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. If infestations occur, treat the plant promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Pruning: Remove any dead or shriveled stems to maintain the plant’s appearance and prevent potential pest issues.

Air Circulation: Ensure good air flow around the plant to reduce the risk of fungal diseases, especially in humid environments.

Overwintering: In regions with cold winters, indoor cultivation during colder months is recommended to protect the plant from frost damage.


By providing appropriate care and attention, ‘Indian Corn Cob’ can be a striking and low-maintenance addition to your succulent collection, offering unique texture and visual interest to both indoor and outdoor garden spaces.

Excellent product for my home office use.
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I purchased this to replace my older model one that stopped working due to my mistake. This one was a very nice upgrade, as it has two paper trays, can use paper much larger paper if needed, can print/copy two sided which was a very important factor affecting my decision to purchase this model, and I can print using blue tooth from my computer or my phone and from the phone is another important factor affecting my decision to purchase. It was extremely easy to set up. I went to Epson's website to download the latest software to my laptop computer and to print to .pdf the manual and instruction booklet. It prints, copies and scans fast for my home office use. Things can be printed in the faster draft mode or in a better quality print which is a little slower, but not too much slower. Draft uses less ink. The ink cartridges are less expensive then the ones for my older workforce. I recommend this model for personal and home office use.

This company has terrible customer service and serious flaws in their printer design
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I have never posted a seriously negative review of a product in the past as I try to work with the manufacture to fix their product problems and keep the customer happy. However, after prolonged attempts at resolution with this products issue I have to post something to show my frustration. The company has horrible customer service and does not support its flawed product, so I need to warn other potential customers to avoid my expensive mistake and seek a different manufacturer to purchase your printer and your ink. I bought this printer in December of 2021. It initially worked fine. I left on a vacation in July and returned in August to a long list of items to complete with close deadlines. Many required me to use my printer. Unfortunately, when I turned on my computer, I chose to update the software for the computer and for the printer (automatic requests that I clicked yes on – bad mistake). Once the printer software was updated it rejected the ink in my printer (which has worked previously and was Espon brand). Given very tight deadlines I called all over town and found some new Epson ink 20 miles away. I bought it and returned. The printer rejected the new yellow ink. I called customer service asking for help rolling back my printer software so I could finish my job and was dismissed. Now with a few hours deadline, I had to go buy a NEW printer and new ink (clearly NOT Epson brand), return, install and print. The deadline met, I recontacted Epson and asked them to take my printer back or replace the software as it was useless. I could not even print with black only ink when it rejected the yellow cartridge. They simply ignored me but asked for receipts, etc. to prove I bought new Epson Ink. That required more of my time to scan (with my new printer mind you), fill out forms, and submit. Weeks later they sent me a single new yellow ink cartridge. By then I was traveling again. I returned a month later, the ink was in my mail. I installed it – It does not work so now 6 weeks after the original problem I still cannot use my printer. I suspect to get any help I will need to go through all the same paperwork and hassle and will have no resolution of the software issue, which is the real problem, not the ink. Bottom line – this is a deeply flawed device with very touchy software glitches. The company is so paranoid to protect their ink business that they had made their device(s) unusable. I now see they were sued and they settled that lawsuit a few years ago. What they have not done is fix the problem nor do they want to help customers who have problems. I strongly recommend you not buy this device and seek a different manufacturer (probably none of their devices after reading the lawsuit information and noting they have not agreed to resolve the problem).
