Up for sale is a fantastic, highly collectible Euphorbia tubiglans native to South Africa.
Unlike common cutting-grown clones which remain thin, this is a premium seed-grown specimen.

The plant features three beautifully structured, upright mature branches showing clear 5-sided geometric rib lines and is currently pushing vibrant new growth from the crown.
From the dried cyathia remnants, this plant is believed to be a female specimen, making it an essential addition for anyone looking to cross-pollinate and produce seeds for this hard-to-find variety.

Care Instructions
Follow these detailed care instructions to keep your Elkhorn Fern thriving:
Mounting
Elkhorn ferns are epiphytic, meaning they naturally grow attached to trees. For best results:
- Mount on wood, cork, or similar materials
- Use sphagnum moss around the roots
- Secure with fishing line or plant-safe wire until established
Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
