🌿 Growth Habit:

Euphorbia bupleurifolia × susannae grows as a compact, clustering succulent with a swollen textured base and short stems topped with narrow leaves. It thrives in bright indirect light to filtered sun and prefers a fast-draining mineral-rich growing medium. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings, especially during cooler months. Mature plants gradually form attractive clusters and become increasingly sculptural with age.
