This Euphorbia ingens f. variegata specimen is a beast at just under 3 metres tall. Its chunky ascending stems are rippled at the ribs, indicating different stages of growth through the years.
Like it's non-variegated sibling Euphorbia ingens, if positioned in adequate sunlight Euphorbia ingens f. variegata can be a relatively fast-growing and easy-care succulent species, which freely branches as it matures. Although preferring direct sun, its creamy white variegation can make it susceptible to scorching if the light is particularly intense during the peak summer months.
