The Euphorbia lactea Cristata, commonly known as the coral cactus, is immediately recognisable by its wavy, irregular crest that closely resembles coral. The plant is bright green with thick, fleshy leaves that give it a sculptural quality. Even in a plain pot, it commands attention.
Its compact size and strong visual character make it well suited to reception desks, retail displays, hospitality settings, and office environments with ample natural light. Wherever a distinctive accent plant is needed without taking up much floor space, this variety is a practical choice.
Water requirements are low: allow the compost to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. The plant thrives in direct sunlight and can be placed both indoors and outdoors, provided it is sheltered from extreme weather. Each plant is packed in a purpose-built box with a protective sleeve to ensure it arrives in good condition.
Can this plant be used both indoors and outdoors? Yes, it can be placed both indoors and outdoors, as long as it is protected from extreme weather. Indoors, a sunny spot with plenty of direct light is the most suitable position.
