This review is from: Red Spined African Milk Bush Cactus - Euphorbia

This plant was great. It came packaged very well for transport. It had great color. Transplanting is difficult because of the sharp spines all the way around, but wasn't too much trouble. It had no problems with transplant shock; it seems to be a hardy plant. Don't over water it. These plants like to just sit.
