Description
The Euphorbia mammillaris ‘Variegata’ is a distinctive succulent known for its white stems adorned with emerald green markings. As it matures, the plant develops long, sharp spines at the top of each stem. Its small, variegated leaves are relatively short-lived. Over time, it grows multiple stems, creating an appealing cluster.
