Euphorbia Abdelkuri, (Red Form)

The plant in the image is a red form of Euphorbia Abdelkuri, specifically the cultivar 'Damask'. It is a very rare and unusual spineless succulent that is highly sought after by collectors. The red coloration can vary in intensity depending on light levels.

Key Characteristics
  • Origin: The parent species is endemic to the remote island of Abd al Kuri off the coast of Yemen, where it grows in arid, rocky conditions.
  • Appearance: This cultivar has thick, columnar, branching stems that are pinkish-red to reddish, lacking both leaves and spines. The skin often has a slightly wrinkled, waxy appearance.
  • Size: It forms densely branched, candelabra-like clumps, typically reaching a height of up to 1 meter (about 3 feet) in cultivation, though wild specimens can be larger.
  • Toxicity: Like all Euphorbias, it contains a highly poisonous, milky or yellow latex sap that can cause severe irritation to the eyes and skin. Handle with extreme caution.

Care and Cultivation
  • Light: It prefers bright, direct light but should be protected from the most intense afternoon sun in hot climates to prevent scorching.
  • Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is very drought-tolerant and susceptible to rot if overwatered, especially during its winter dormancy period.
  • Soil and Potting: A well-draining, mineral-based soil mix (like a cactus/succulent mix with added perlite or coarse sand) is essential to ensure proper drainage. Use pots with drainage holes.
  • Temperature: It is very frost tender and needs protection from cold, preferring minimum winter temperatures around 10°C (50°F).
  • Propagation: This specific red form is often grown grafted onto a more vigorous rootstock, such as Euphorbia canariensis, due to its slow growth rate and rarity.
It is a stunning and unique addition to a succulent collection, valued more for its unusual form and color than its small, inconspicuous flowers.
