About this Item
Euphorbia anoplia (Tanzanian Zipper Plant) is a unique, spineless succulent that mimics a cactus, forming clusters of tall, green, ribbed columns with horizontal, zipper-like bands. It is a low-maintenance, slow-growing plant that thrives in bright light, well-draining soil, and is hardy to zone 9b-11b.
Key Characteristics and Description
- Appearance: Often called a “zipper plant” because of the alternating, reddish-brown to dark green horizontal striations across its vertical, light-green ridges.
- Structure: It is a clump-forming, column-like, leafless succulent that can reach up to 1 foot tall and generally lacks spines.
- Flowers: Produces small, inconspicuous purple to maroon-red flowers (cyathia) at the top of the stems in spring and summer.
- Growth Pattern: Forms tight, upright cylindrical columns that branch out, similar to a candelabra.
Care and Cultivation
- Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight to partial shade. Increased light encourages growth and blooming.
- Watering: Requires minimal water; it is a drought-tolerant plant. Soil must be allowed to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a specialized succulent or cactus potting mix.
- Hardiness: Hardy to 32°F (0°C); it should be protected from hard frosts and treated as a houseplant in cold climates.
