Euphorbia platyclada
Euphorbia platyclada is an unusual, almost alien-looking succulent with flattened, brownish-green stems that resemble dried twigs or coral. Its bizarre appearance makes it a talking point in any plant collection, and it produces tiny, pale flowers along the stem in the warmer months.
- Other names: Dead Plant Euphorbia, Euphorbia 'Dead Stick'
- Useful to know: Not safe for pets - toxic if ingested; sap can irritate skin
- Eventual height: Up to 20-25cm tall
- Origins: Madagascar
