Euphorbia ingens ‘Canarias’, often called the Candelabra Tree, is a bold, sculptural succulent tree with tall, upright, cactus-like arms that branch from a central trunk, creating a dramatic, architectural silhouette. Native to southern Africa and widely grown in the Canary Islands, this sun-loving euphorbia thrives in bright, direct light and warm, dry conditions, making it ideal for conservatories, sunny living rooms, or south-facing windows. Planted in a gritty, free-draining cactus mix, it requires very little water — only once the soil has fully dried out, and even less in winter when it naturally rests. Overwatering should be avoided, as its thick, succulent stems are prone to rot. In ideal conditions, it can grow into an impressive specimen, offering a real desert vibe indoors. Still relatively rare in the UK in comparison to standard Euphorbia varieties, especially in larger, well-shaped forms. Rarity score: ★★★★☆. Easy-keeping score: ★★★★★ — extremely low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and perfect for beginners or collectors wanting a statement piece. A living sculpture that brings instant Canary Island sunshine to your home.
