Euphorbia phillipsioides f. variegated

The variegated form of E. phillipsioides has yellow or pink spots or streaks where there is a lack of chlorophyll; these stains will never appear identical in plants, making each one unique and for this reason highly sought after by collectors around the world. In its normal form it is a perennial succulent with a very particular shape. Its bright green stem with a columnar posture has well marked ribs on which thick tubercles form, at which apices sprout small white bifurcated spines. During growth and with prolonged exposure to the sun, the plant assumes pinkish colors.
