Cowboy Cactus
Euphorbia Acruensis
The plant, by the plant
Howdy. I'm the Cowboy Cactus - tall, dark-green and full of secrets. The biggest one? I'm not actually a cactus. I'm a Euphorbia from the highlands of East Africa who evolved the whole desert-hero look completely independently. Nature loves a remake.
My care suits the laid-back rancher: as much bright light as you can offer, water sparingly (let my soil dry right out), and never let me sit in a puddle. That's it - I'm the lowest-maintenance sheriff in town.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 50cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets & kids: my milky sap is a skin and tummy irritant - look, don't touch, and wash hands after handling.
Before you even think about watering me again, consult a Moisture Meter. And yes - I look extremely hot in a Jardin Terrazzo Pot in Black.

Care tips
A low maintenance and drought tolerant plant. Water only once soil is completely dry. Fertilise in the warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
