The Euphorbia fortissima is a plant native to the United States, particularly parts of California, Arizona and Nevada. The plant has been able to adapt and prosper in the arid and rocky terrain of these areas.

Characteristics
The Euphorbia fortissima is a perennial plant known for its height which can vary between 2 and 3 meters. Throughout the year, this plant displays grey-green shoots that are densely studded with small, sharp thorns. The blooming of the Euphorbia fortissima happens between late spring and early summer, during which small, yellow flowers appear on the plant.

Care
Maintaining the Euphorbia fortissima requires some care. In general, this plant necessitates bright sunlight and should be potted in a well-draining soil. Too much water is harmful for the plant, thus moderate watering is recommended, particularly during the winter months. Although the plant can endure some frost, protection against extremely low temperatures is necessary. Regular fertilisation during the growing season boosts the overall health and lifespan of the plant.
