Euphorbia grandicornis – Cow’s Horn Euphorbia Cuttings – Grown in Elfin Forest, California

🌿 Description

The Cow’s Horn Euphorbia (Euphorbia grandicornis) is an extraordinary succulent shrub known for its zig-zag growth pattern and fearsome spines. With its deeply ridged, angular stems and striking silhouette, this species is highly sought after by collectors of unusual succulents.

We offer freshly harvested cuttings in multiple sizes. To ensure the best success for our customers, we cure each cutting for 5–7 days before shipping. This helps the cut surface callus properly and reduces the risk of rot when planted. Please note that our processing time is slightly longer for this product so we can send you a well-cured, healthy cutting.

⚠️ Important Note: The thorns on this plant are extremely sharp. Please handle only with thick protective gloves, keep out of reach of children and pets, and exercise caution when potting or moving the cuttings.

🛠️ Basic Care for Cuttings

• Planting: After receiving your cured cutting, insert the cut end about 2–3 inches into well-draining cactus/succulent soil.
• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining mix (cactus soil amended with pumice or perlite works best).
• Light: Bright indirect light until roots begin to form; transition gradually to full sun.
• Water: Do not water immediately after planting. Wait at least 1–2 weeks, then water sparingly. Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Rooting: Rooting usually takes several weeks. New growth on the cutting is a good sign of root establishment.
• Hardiness: Protect below 40°F (4°C). USDA Zones 10–12.
