You'll either love it or you'll hate it, but there's no denying that it's a true showstopper. This quirky plant is a combination of two Euphorbias that have been fused - the frilly coral-like crown is the Euphorbia lactea 'Cristata', while the 'stem' is Euphorbia nerifolia. With its unusual appearance and striking texture, the Coral Cactus is sure to make a statement in any room!

Position your Coral Cactus somewhere very bright - at least two hours of full sun would be ideal.
You should always underwater these plants as they are drought tolerant and store water in their fleshy stems and too much water will cause them to rot. Always allow the soil to dry out completely in between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
