Monadenium ritchiei f. variegata

Perennial succulent plant with fleshy green stems covered by numerous tubercles equipped with small and sparse spines at the apex; growing, Monadenium tends to take a abundantly accestita disposition. The variegated shape of this cactus presents the typical lighter areas in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each exemplar will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, highly sought after by collectors. With prolonged exposure to the sun, the green leaves can take on a more purplish color. The small flowers are of a color that varies from light pink to purple, they do not have petals, so they can be called cyathia. It’s an easy-growing plant. Synonym: Euphorbia ritchiei.
