Euphorbia Bubalina

Information

The Euphorbia Bubalina is a bit of a stunner and grows to an impressive height.   It's tough as nails—so much so that you can usually grow it outside all year round without fuss, even in cooler spots.

Keep an eye on it, as it sets seeds easily, meaning you might soon have a few babies!   Its defining feature is that textured, dappled appearance on the trunk, giving it a really nice, unique look.

The simplest way to identify a Euphorbia is by the milky white sap released if the plant is damaged.   While this sap can be irritating, washing your hands quickly after contact is a safe and sensible precaution.

Unlike Cacti, the sharp parts of a Euphorbia usually won't puncture your skin easily.   Most species have separate male and female plants and produce small, often insignificant, flowers.
