Euphorbia grandicornis, commonly known as the Cow's Horn Euphorbia or Grandicornis Cactus, is a unique succulent plant. Here are some key details about this plant:

Description
This plant has erect, green, 3- to 4-winged branches with a zigzag pattern. The branches can grow up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) tall and 4 inches (10 cm) wide. The spines are gray to brownish, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long, and arranged in pairs. It produces small, yellow flowers that grow in the top of the stems next to each spine. The flowers bloom in spring.

Native Habitat
Native to the KwaZulu-Natal province and the Northern Provinces of South Africa, as well as Mozambique and Eswatini. Grows in dense dry mixed forest, on granite slopes, and on rocks at elevations of 40 to 700 meters.

Care and Cultivation
Prefers full sun to partial shade. It needs at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Requires well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. A mix of garden soil, perlite, and coarse coconut coir works well. Prefers moderate humidity. Misting with rainwater can help provide foliar feeding. Thrives in warm temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept indoors or in a plant house during colder months. Can be propagated through seeds or stem cuttings. Stem cuttings should be planted in a well-draining growing medium and kept in bright, indirect light.

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. 

Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter. 

❗LOOK!!❗
Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience.
