Euphorbia bougheyi
Ribbon Thin Spurge Euphorbia
Euphorbia Bougheyi, also known as Boughey's spurge or Boughey's wood spurge, is a succulent perennial plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to the eastern and southern parts of Africa, particularly Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Euphorbia Bougheyi is a low-growing succulent that forms a compact mound up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide. The plant features upright stems that are densely covered with greenish-gray leaves, which are narrow, lance-shaped, and arranged in opposite pairs. The stems also produce clusters of small, yellow-green flowers that are surrounded by greenish-yellow bracts.
When it comes to caring for Euphorbia Bougheyi, it is a relatively low-maintenance plant that can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Here are some care tips to keep in mind:
Light: Euphorbia Bougheyi prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as Euphorbia Bougheyi is susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Water the plant deeply but infrequently, and make sure the pot has good drainage.
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that is specifically formulated for cacti and succulents. You can also add perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage.
Temperature: Euphorbia Bougheyi prefers warm temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C) and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures down to 50°F (10°C).
Fertilizer: Feed the plant once a month during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Euphorbia Bougheyi does not require regular pruning but can be trimmed back to control its size or shape if necessary. Wear gloves and protective clothing when pruning, as the plant's sap can cause skin irritation.
Propagation: Euphorbia Bougheyi can be propagated by stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry out for a day or two before planting them in well-draining soil.
Toxicity: Euphorbia Bougheyi is toxic to humans and pets if ingested. The sap can cause skin irritation, so wear gloves and protective clothing when handling the plant.
