Astrophytum Asterias Nudum

Euphorbia bupleurifolia is a rare and attractive caudiciform succulent known for its pineapple-like stem covered in patterned tubercles and topped with a crown of slender green leaves. This unusual species develops a thick swollen stem that stores water, allowing it to survive long dry periods. Its sculptural appearance makes it highly prized among collectors of rare Euphorbias and caudiciform plants. During the growing season, it may produce small yellow-green flowers near the crown. It thrives in warm conditions, bright light, and very well-draining soil.

Interesting Fact:
Because of its distinctive shape, Euphorbia bupleurifolia is often nicknamed the “Pine Cone Euphorbia” or “Pineapple Euphorbia” among collectors.

Native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, where it grows in rocky dry bushveld and semi-arid environments.
