Description
Botanical Name: Euphorbia lactea
Common Names: Dragon Bones Tree
Description:
The Euphorbia lactea, commonly called the Dragon Bones Tree, is a striking succulent that captivates with its intricate, ribbed structure resembling the mythical creature’s fossilized remains. Native to tropical Asia, this architectural plant features unique branching patterns with an upright growth habit, making it an eye-catching statement piece for both indoor and outdoor settings. The plant's green, candelabra-like stems are adorned with white or gray marbling, giving it a sculptural and otherworldly aesthetic. Despite its dramatic appearance, the Dragon Bones Tree is easy to care for, thriving in bright indirect sunlight and requiring minimal watering. It is highly drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. This Euphorbia's sap is toxic and can cause skin irritation, so it should be handled with care and kept out of reach of pets and children.
