Euphorbia lactea Cristata (Brain Cactus)

Euphorbia lactea 'Cristata' (also know as the brain) is a small, slow-growing succulent with a stem composed of a continuous series of fan-shaped branches arranged in an alternating, undulating pattern. The green form features intricately undulating fan-shaped branches that form snaky ridge or crowded cluster. The plant's striking dark green color is attractively marked with silver-grey zigzag patterns stems range in colors.  The paired spines are mainly located along the ridge of the crest.  Place in a sunny window or put outside in the summer, but protect from the frost and too much rain. This euphorbia makes an interesting conversation piece and a nice addition to any collection.  These plants are not on grafted stock. Despite its cactus-like appearance, it belongs to the Euphorbia genus, meaning it contains a milky, toxic sap that requires careful handling. Native to tropical Asia, this unique plant thrives in warm, dry conditions, making it a popular choice for indoor gardens and
