You don’t often see Euphorbia platyclada or dead plant for sale or on display often for obvious reasons its look dead but it's a real gem and another rare plant from Central and south-west Madagascar, a country full of unusual plants.
 
It grows in the arid landscape of dry plateaus and scrub forest and uses its appearance as a dead plant to hide from hungry herbivores. 
 
To thrive they need good light and only the very occasional watering, these plants like to be kept dry, treat it like a cactus and you won't go far wrong.
 
We are selling nice large plants and obviously very limited stock.
