Candelabra Cactus 3G

Candelabra Euphorbia in 3-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

With its dramatic branching arms and desert silhouette, the Candelabra Euphorbia (Euphorbia ingens) in a 3-gallon pot is a striking and sculptural addition to any South Florida garden or sunlit patio. Resembling a miniature cactus tree, this upright succulent offers bold vertical interest, minimal upkeep, and the drought-tolerant resilience you want in a heat-loving plant.

This smaller 3-gallon size is perfect for containers, starter xeriscape beds, or collectors looking to add a distinctive focal point to their succulent lineup.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to bright light. Outdoors, aim for 6–8 hours of direct sun daily. Indoors, place in the sunniest window available—south- or west-facing works best.

• Watering: Low water needs. Water deeply only when the soil is bone dry. During the rainy season, make sure excess water drains freely—this Euphorbia dislikes wet feet.

• Soil: Requires sharp-draining soil. Use a cactus/succulent mix with added sand or pumice. Good drainage is essential in South Florida’s humid climate.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a cactus or succulent fertilizer, diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in cooler months.

• Growth Habit: Tree-like and columnar, with thick vertical stems that can branch as it matures. In a 3-gallon pot, expect growth of 12–20 inches tall, with strong potential for upward growth over time.

• Temperature: Thrives in USDA Zones 10–11. Loves heat and sun, and does best when protected from temperatures below 40°F.

• Maintenance: Very minimal. Just avoid overwatering and handle with gloves—its milky white sap is toxic and can cause irritation to skin or eyes.

Ideal For:

• Patio or balcony succulent displays

• Drought-tolerant landscapes

• Small-space modern plant styling

• Architectural accent in sunny areas
