💡 Care Tip: Keep your Euphorbia Flanaganii Cristata in a container with excellent drainage and avoid prolonged wet soil. After arrival, gradually acclimate the plant to stronger sunlight to reduce the risk of sunburn. This succulent is sensitive to cold, so protect it from temperatures near freezing; shipping during temperatures below 40°F can also pose a risk. Like other Euphorbia species, damaged stems can release irritating milky latex sap, so wear gloves when pruning or handling broken tissue and keep the sap away from skin and eyes.
