Euphorbia aeruginosa 'miniature saguaro' is a stunning succulent native to the rocky crevices of South Africa's Mpumalanga province. This Euphorbia species is a smaller variety, growing up to 30 cm tall and featuring spiky, bluish-green stems that are densely armed with pairs of sharp reddish spines. The stems and branches are 4 to 5-angled, giving them a unique and striking appearance. This succulent is perfect for pots and as a feature in the garden, where it can show off its beautiful colour.
This easy-to-care-for plant requires a little attention to become established, but once it is, it is self-sufficient. Euphorbia aeruginosa 'miniature saguaro' needs well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. Although it is not particular about soil pH, it cannot tolerate wet soil. Unlike most succulents, Euphorbia does not handle long periods of drought well. During the summer, it may need weekly watering, so be sure to water it deeply whenever the soil is dry several centimetres below the surface.
Euphorbia aeruginosa 'miniature saguaro' can be propagated by cuttings, but it can be tricky due to the exuding sap. Rooting hormone is recommended for this process. This plant is relatively problem-free, but it is essential to be alert for pests and diseases.
Overall, Euphorbia aeruginosa 'miniature saguaro' is a lovely addition to any garden or collection of succulents. Its striking appearance, ease of care, and unique features make it a must-have for any plant enthusiast.
