You will receive 1 Euphorbia Grantii Var. Rubra

Euphorbia grantii var. rubra*, also known as the Tanzanian “Red Milk Bush”, is a thornless shrub with succulent-like stems and leaves that are red with green flecking and a purple underside. It branches out near the base and has large foliage that covers its stems. This plant is native to the African tropics, particularly in Malawi, Kenya, and Uganda, where it grows at altitudes of 500–2100 meters. It has also been introduced to other tropical regions.

Euphorbia grantii var. rubra* is easy to grow and can tolerate full sun to bright light, temperatures between 40–100 degrees, and infrequent watering. However, all parts of the plant are poisonous and contain a toxic milky latex that can cause contact dermatitis if it comes into contact with skin. Because of this, it should not be grown around children or animals that eat plants. Caution is also required when pruning the plant, as the sap can be extremely irritating.
