Euphorbia cristata in bowl

Euphorbia cristata in a bowl is an extraordinary and eye-catching plant that brings a sculptural, almost coral-like quality to any indoor display. Known for its fascinating crested growth, this variety forms intricate, fan-shaped ridges that can appear in shades of green, blue-grey, or even with tinges of pink or purple, depending on light conditions. Its unusual form and textured surface make it a striking choice for customers looking for something out of the ordinary, whether as a centrepiece or part of a curated succulent collection. This plant prefers a bright position with plenty of indirect light and can tolerate some direct sun, which may enhance its colour. Like most Euphorbia, it is highly drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry. A free-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential to prevent root rot, and watering should be reduced even further during the winter months. Feeding is rarely needed, but a light application of a balanced fertiliser during the growing season can support overall health. While it may look exotic, Euphorbia cristata is surprisingly easy to care for and well-suited to indoor environments. The bowl format not only complements its unusual shape but also provides a stable base for its often top-heavy growth. As with all Euphorbia, care should be taken when handling, as the milky sap can be a skin irritant. Its dramatic appearance and minimal maintenance needs make it a highly desirable addition to garden centres and houseplant shops aiming to offer unique and conversation-starting specimens.
