Wrinkled
As a succulent, the variegated Euphoriba stores water in its trunk, meaning it can go some time between waterings. Therefore if it starts to look wrinkled, give it some water!
Milky White latex
If the 'skin' is broken, it’s can leak a milky white latex sap which is toxic, so keep away from curious children and pets!
Sharp
This plant looks like a cactus but is actually a euphorbia. Instead of spikes like a catus it has thorns (which are equally prickly so watch out)!
