Euphorbia ingens, commonly known as the Candelabra Tree, Cowboy Cactus, or Naboom, is a striking, tree-like succulent native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. While it mimics a cactus with its columnar, four-lobed stems and vertical growth, it is technically a succulent in the Euphorbiaceae family.

APPEARANCES and CHARACTERISTICS

• Appearance: Features dark green stems that branch out as the plant matures, creating a distinctive silhouette similar to a multi-armed candelabra.
• Size: In its natural habitat, it can tower up to 30–40 feet tall, while indoor container plants typically reach 8–10 feet.
• Toxicity: Contains a milky white latex sap that is highly toxic and a severe irritant to skin and eyes; it can cause blindness upon contact.
• Flowers & Fruit: Produces small, greenish-yellow flowers in fall and winter, which develop into round, reddish-purple fruit.

CARE and GROWING CONDITIONS

• Light: Requires bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day. Insufficient light can lead to "etiolation" (stretched, thin growth) .
• Watering: Drought-tolerant but needs thorough watering once the soil is completely dry.
• Summer: Roughly once a week or every 2–3 weeks depending on heat.
• Winter: Reduce significantly to once every month or two during dormancy.
• Soil: Must be planted in well-draining, gritty soil (like a cactus or succulent mix) to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Prefers warm environments and is not frost-hardy; it should be protected or moved indoors if temperatures drop below 35°F.
