The green and red luminescence of this striking vertical growing Euphorbia is what makes it a truly unique plant. Its teardrop-shaped leaves are dark, purplish-red in color with some of the reddish color seeping into the flesh. This royal red Euphorbia has a heavily branched growth habit, with pairs of small teeth on the margins of the 3-4 angled ribs. Leaves of Euphorbias may drop if they are kept too dry. Plant Ruby Red Trigona in well-drained soil and keep it dry during winter months.
