Euphorbia abdelkuri is a rare and unique succulent plant, highly valued by plant enthusiasts.

Key Characteristics:

• Appearance: It has a distinctive grey color, sometimes shining with iridescence in the sun, and forms densely branched, candelabra-like clumps.
• Size: It usually reaches about 3 feet (1 meter) in height, though some wild plants can grow larger.
• Unique Features: It lacks leaves and spines, giving it a peculiar wax-like appearance, like a grey candle with melted wax.
• Toxicity: Like other members of the Euphorbia genus, it contains a milky sap (latex) that is toxic and can be highly irritating, especially to the eyes and skin. 

Origin and Habitat:

• Native Range: It is endemic to Abd al Kuri, an island in the Socotra Archipelago south of Yemen.
• Habitat: It grows in rocky, arid areas, typically at elevations of 150-270 meters (492-886 feet). 

Cultivation Requirements:

• Light: Prefers full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight) but filtered light during the hottest part of the day can prevent bleaching.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F), and must be protected from frost.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix, to prevent root rot. It should not hold excessive moisture.
• Watering: Water thoroughly in the summer, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, water only when the soil is completely dry. 

Uses:

• Ornamental: Popular as a houseplant or addition to succulent collections due to its unique appearance.
• Xeriscaping: Drought resistance makes it suitable for water-wise gardens.
• Ecological Role: Attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity.
