Euphorbia Ammak

Euphorbia Ammak
Common Name: Desert Candelabra

Euphorbia Ammak is a striking, tree-like succulent known for its towering, candelabra-style branching and dramatic coloration. With its thick, vertical stems in shades of bluish-green to gray-green—often accented by creamy variegation—this Euphorbia makes a bold architectural statement in any collection.

Native to the Arabian Peninsula, it thrives in hot, arid environments and can grow impressively tall with time. Its upright, four-ribbed stems are lined with short, sharp spines and small, deciduous leaves that appear near the tips during active growth.

☀ Light Requirements
Loves full sun to bright, indirect light. Outdoors, it thrives in sunny, dry locations. Indoors, place in the brightest spot possible—preferably near a south-facing window.

💧 Watering Needs
Water deeply but infrequently. Let soil dry out completely between waterings. This Euphorbia is highly drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering. Reduce watering in cooler months.

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Not frost-tolerant—protect from temperatures below 40°F. Bring indoors or cover in colder months. For winter orders, consider adding a [Heat Pack].

✨ Special Features
• Sculptural Form – Vertical, columnar growth with eye-catching silhouette.
• Variegated Forms Available – The variegated type is highly prized for its creamy marbled tones.
