The botanical name of this succulent is *Euphorbia lactea* var. *cristata*. Synonyms often used are *Euphorbia lactea* 'Cristata' or *Euphorbia lactea* 'Elkhorn'. In German, it is known as Wolfsmilch (meaning "wolf's milk"). The succulent belongs to the genus *Euphorbia*, which is part of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is a hybrid.

Euphorbia lactea var. Cristata is green. The flower is yellow and arranged in branched clusters. It develops during the flowering period from June to August. You will receive a plant in a 6cm pot, with a total height of pot and plant of about 10cm. The achievable growth height is 10cm to 15cm.
Caring for Euphorbia lactea var. Cristata is relatively simple. A mixture of cactus and succulent soil is suitable as a substrate. Euphorbia lactea var. Cristata does not tolerate waterlogging, so you should ensure good drainage and allow the substrate to dry out before watering again. Generally, this succulent tolerates too little water rather than too much. Fertilizing is necessary about once every three to four weeks.
This succulent needs a sunny to bright location to meet its light requirements. The optimal temperature is between 20°C and 30°C. Euphorbia lactea var. Cristata can spend the summer outdoors after being gradually acclimated to direct sunlight. In winter, the temperature should be around 10°C. Furthermore, fertilization is stopped and watering is reduced. However, this succulent is not suitable for the garden.
This succulent can be propagated by head cuttings. Euphorbia lactea var. Cristata contains a poisonous sap that can also cause a rash in humans.


Please note: Sizes, shapes and ages may vary for plants, as each one is unique. This is especially true in winter or when availability is low. The color also varies depending on the season.
