Euphorbia ingens, often called the Candelabra Tree, brings bold desert architecture indoors. With its tall, sculptural stems and branching silhouette, it’s perfect for adding instant impact to a sunny spot. Despite its dramatic look, it’s incredibly low-maintenance — thriving on bright light and very little water. A brilliant choice for anyone who loves statement plants but doesn’t want to fuss.

Light: Loves bright, direct sunlight. A south or west-facing window is ideal. It can tolerate slightly lower light but will grow slowly and lean toward the light.

Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and even longer in winter. Euphorbias are drought-tolerant and much prefer underwatering to overwatering.

Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temperatures between 18–28°C. Keep away from cold drafts and avoid letting it sit below 10°C.

Potting: Pot in our Savvy Succa Mix, which offers excellent drainage for cactus and succulent types. Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Hot Tips: Handle with care — Euphorbias contain a milky sap that can irritate skin, so wear gloves when pruning or repotting. Wipe dust off the stems occasionally to help it photosynthesise properly.

Pet Safety: Not safe for pets if nibbled. The sap is toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested.
