Euphorbia Loricata
Slender leaf succulent. Deciduous leaving stems with dried flower stems resembling spines. Vertical growing, sprouting from the base. A striking container plant in areas where temperatures drop below freezing. Elsewhere it can be grown in the ground in well draining rocky soil in cactus and succulent gardens.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Succulents need good draining soil. When planting in the garden, make sure the area drains well and is not in a hollow that remains wet. Specially prepared cactus soil can be purchased for planting in pots or incorporate sand, gravel or volcanic rock for better drainage. The container you are planting in should have a drainage hole and it is wise to put crushed rock at the bottom before your planting medium.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
It is easily propagated by cuttings taken in late spring to early summer. As with most succulent and cacti cuttings the wound needs to have time to dry and callus over, then plant the cutting in loose, well draining cactus soil and give it time to root. Can also be propagated by seed.
