4-10cm Euphorbia guentheri 'Variegata'

Native to Madagascar, this exceptional euphorbia is renowned for its eye-catching purple纹路 (purple streaks and marbling) that adorn its stems—hence its "紫纹龙" (Purple Vein Dragon) name. It features an upright, columnar clumping growth habit: multiple thick stems emerge from the base, growing straight upward to form a dense cluster that reaches 40-60cm tall and 25-35cm wide at maturity. Each stem is cylindrical, measuring 3-5cm in diameter, with a smooth green epidermis vividly streaked with deep purple, lavender, or maroon patterns that intensify under bright light. The purple markings are unique to each specimen, ranging from thin veins to bold splotches, creating a "dragon skin"-like appearance. Small, lanceolate leaves grow in tufts at stem tips during the growing season, adding a delicate green contrast to the vibrant purple-streaked stems before dropping naturally.
