Euphorbia lactea (Dragon Bone Cactus)
龙骨大戟 / 龙骨树
English
Euphorbia lactea, commonly known as Dragon Bone Tree or Dragon Bone Cactus, is a highly ornamental succulent shrub admired for its striking, sculptural branching structure. Native to tropical Asia, it features upright, ribbed stems with irregular patterns of green, white, or pale grey, giving it a dramatic, bone-like appearance.
This species is often grown as a single-stemmed plant or trained into multi-branched forms, and is especially popular in crested (fan-shaped) varieties, which are highly valued in ornamental horticulture. Although it resembles a cactus, it belongs to the Euphorbia family and contains a milky sap typical of the genus.
Low-maintenance and drought tolerant, Euphorbia lactea thrives in warm, bright environments and is ideal for modern interiors, succulent collections, and architectural landscape designs.
