Euphorbia Monadenium Ritchiei Variegata

Euphorbia Ritchiei Variegata (Euphorbia ritchiei ‘Variegata’ (syn. Monadenium ritchiei)) is a compact succulent with knobby, upright stems striped green and creamy yellow. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a plant similar to the one in the photos.

What does Euphorbia Ritchiei Variegata look like?

It grows as a small clump of thick, upright stems covered in rounded bumps, which give the surface a quilted look. In this variegated form the stems are striped and patched in green and creamy yellow. Small fleshy leaves appear near the stem tips in the growing season and may drop when it rests.

It used to be sold as Monadenium ritchiei, so you will see both names. Like all euphorbias it has milky sap. For other small pot plants, see our other succulents.

How do you care for Euphorbia Ritchiei Variegata?

• Light: Bright light with some direct sun, such as an east or south window. Too little light makes the stems stretch and the yellow fade.
• Water: Only when the soil is completely dry. Water even less in winter.
• Humidity: Average room air. It does not need extra humidity.
• Soil: A gritty cactus or succulent mix with extra pumice or perlite, in a pot with a drainage hole.
• Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep it above 50°F and dry when it is cool.
• Pets: Not pet safe. The milky sap irritates skin, eyes and mouth, so keep it away from pets and children.

Wear gloves when you repot or take cuttings, and let any cut dry for a few days before it goes into soil.
