## Description

Euphorbia mammillaris variegata, also known as Indian Corn Cob, is a very rare plant. This is a fast-growing shrublet with thick stems that are chalky green, erect and ribbed. These stems can turn rosy pink in colder weather. At maturity, the plant can reach 8-10 inches (20-35 cm) tall. Each stem can have from 7 to 17 ribs with thick hexagonal tubercles placed next to each other vertically, which resembles the look of a corn cob. The spines are pinkish white, thick and pointy like toothpicks, up to 0.4 inches (1 cm) long and scattered around the stem. From late winter to early summer, Euphorbia mammillaris variegata produces small red and orange flowers from each stem. Protect from frost. - All of the plants will be shipped bare root. - Light: Full Sun, Partial Sun. - Soil: Well-drained, porous cactus mix. - Water: thoroughly only when soil is dry to the touch, then let drain completely. Avoid letting water sit for too long in the soil to prevent rot. Water more regularly from March to September its growing season). Reduce watering to a minimum in the winter. You can propagate Euphorbia mammillaris by cuttings in late spring or summer. Precaution: All Euphorbias contain a white sap that can be irritating to the human body. If you accidentally come in contact with this sap, be careful not to touch your face or eyes and immediately wash your hands with soap and water.

Review: Love this little cactus! - Cute little cactus. It arrived sooner than expected, fuller than expected, carefully packed and healthy. I also bought the 2” clay pot but was disappointed that it had no drainage tray underneath it. I will re-pot the cactus after it has had more time so settle in.
Review: Great. - I already repotted it, but the size is accurate, it came healthy, and the packaging was very sturdy. I’m a huge succulent fan and this little guy is cute and unique compared to the other cacti I have from stores.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute plant! Great customer service!
*by S***Y on July 17, 2025*

I ordered 5 plants from this company. You can see this one on the video. Most of the plants from the order were fine, but one arrived in poor condition. (On the video, I say 5 weeks ago, but it was 2 weeks ago.) I sent an email per the insert in the packaging, and a replacement was sent with no hassle. You can see the original plant in the video as well as the replacement. Will buy from them again!
