Euphorbia loricata is a slender leafy succulent with long, sharp thorns. In summer it is, of course, leafless.
Euphorbia loricata is an easy species to grow that is suited for any well-drained soil in full sun. But young plants are happy growing indoors, where they can easily reach the ceiling. Give the plant an airy growing medium. Water regularly during the active growing season from March to September. No water should ever be allowed to stand around the roots. Keep almost completely dry in winter. It is a moderately fast grower and will quickly become large landscape masterpieces in just 3-5 years. If the plant becomes very red, this is a sign that the roots have not developed properly. It is a relatively fast-growing and long-lived plant and once established, it will be content in its position and with its soil for years. It can tolerate moderate shade, and a plant that has been growing in shade should be slowly hardened off before placing it in full sun as the plant will be severely scorched if moved too suddenly from shade into sun. Can be pruned for shape and branching.
