Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae

Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae is a columnar succulent Euphorbia in the Euphorbia abyssinica group, grown for its dark green ribbed stems, paired spines and upright branching habit. It develops as a stem-led plant, with small temporary leaves appearing only briefly during active growth.

The stems create the plant’s visual structure. They are upright, firm and ribbed, with paired spines set along the angles and a waxy green surface that stores water and carries much of the plant’s photosynthesis. As the plant matures, the columnar stems may thicken and branch, while container-grown plants stay far smaller than mature habitat plants.

Ribbed stems on Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae

  • Stem colour: Dark green, ribbed succulent stems with a firm waxy surface.
  • Rib pattern: Deep vertical angles give the stems a clearly defined columnar outline.
  • Spines: Paired spines sit along the rib edges and mark the raised stem angles.
  • Container growth: Slow to moderate in containers, with sturdier stems when light is strong and watering is restrained.
  • Plant family: A member of Euphorbiaceae; like other Euphorbias, it produces milky latex and cyathia.

Columnar Euphorbia growth and dryland background

This plant belongs within the Euphorbia abyssinica group, a northeast African dryland succulent tree complex. The var. erythraeae name is associated with dark green, ribbed, columnar stems.

Euphorbia abyssinica is a succulent tree from NE Sudan to Somalia, where it grows in desert or dry shrubland conditions. Thick stems store water, the ribs allow the plant to respond to moisture changes, and the small leaves are secondary to the photosynthetic stems. Indoors, firm stems, strong light and a root zone that dries properly between waterings are the important care points.

Care for Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae

  • Light: Place in the brightest position available, including acclimated direct sun. Increase sun exposure gradually after transport or shade-grown conditions.
  • Watering: Soak the substrate fully, then wait until it has dried through before watering again. Longer dry intervals are normal when light and warmth are lower.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is suitable. Airflow and dry stem surfaces matter more than high humidity.
  • Drainage: Use a mineral-heavy succulent substrate. Pumice, lava grit and coarse sand help protect the thick roots from stagnant moisture.
  • Warmth: Keep warm and frost-free, ideally above 15 °C. Cool, damp substrate can quickly damage the roots and lower stem.
  • Repotting: Repot only when the plant is root-bound or unstable. Use a heavier pot as stems gain height.
  • Placement: Give the plant a bright, open position with enough space around the spines and a stable base to prevent tipping.
  • Feeding: Apply a weak cactus fertiliser during active growth. Keep feeding modest so new stem tissue stays firm.
  • Growth rate: Slow to moderate indoors, depending on light, warmth, root health and watering intervals.
  • Pruning and grooming: Cut only when necessary for damage or size control. Dust the ribs gently with a soft brush and avoid scraping the spine bases.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings are possible, but the latex, spines and rot risk make this a careful job. Let cut surfaces callus fully before potting into a dry mineral mix.
  • Semi-hydro and mineral substrates: Mineral substrates can work when oxygen stays high and the root zone dries between waterings. Constantly wet reservoirs are risky for this succulent Euphorbia.

Problem signs on Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae

  • Pale, narrow new growth: Usually means light is too weak. Move the plant closer to a brighter window in stages.
  • Brown sun patches: Often follow sudden exposure to stronger sun. Keep the plant bright, but harden it off after moving.
  • Soft or blackened tissue: Check for wet substrate, poor drainage or cold roots. Remove the plant from damp soil if the base begins to soften.
  • Mealybugs: Inspect rib grooves, spine bases and new growth. Treat early before pests settle into the angles.
  • Scale insects: Check older ribs and woody areas for small fixed bumps, especially where spines make cleaning difficult.
  • Spider mites: Fine webbing or dull, speckled stem surfaces can appear in hot, dry conditions with poor airflow.
  • Dry scars: Rib edges can mark from old injuries or contact damage. Firm, dry scarring is cosmetic; spreading softness needs action.

Latex and spine safety

This plant produces white Euphorbia latex when cut or damaged. The sap can irritate skin and eyes and is unsafe if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children. Wear gloves for repotting or pruning, clean tools after cutting and avoid touching your face while handling broken stems. Rinse eyes immediately and seek medical advice if sap gets into the eyes.

Botanical background of Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae

Euphorbia abyssinica was published by J.F.Gmel. in 1791. Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae was published by Alwin Berger in Sukkulente Euphorbien: 73, 1907 publ. 1906, and is now listed as a synonym of Euphorbia abyssinica. The genus name Euphorbia is traditionally linked to Euphorbus, physician to King Juba II, while abyssinica refers to Abyssinia. The historical epithet erythraeae is linked to Erythraea/Eritrea in the variety name.

Euphorbia abyssinica var. erythraeae develops dark ribbed columns with paired spines and slow upright branching in bright, dry-leaning conditions.

This was more than I expected...
Format: Kindle
So...I finished this book at nearly 2am! It was just that hard to put down. I loved that it's set in the same world as Fates Hollow but in the future. Poor Pandora has been through so much but there's light at the end of the tunnel for her. She finally meets her dad and it turns out he's amazing. In order to help her learn about demon society and how to control her magic he sends her to the Demon Reform Academy. There she meets 2 awesome demons who help her and care for her. She also sadly meets her 3 tormentors. I will say though that while they do bully Pandora they also rescue her several times and defend her. They too have traumatizing pasts and can't see the good that is in front of them. Of course demon society needs to be shaken up too since that's part of the problem. I really enjoyed this read. I teared up a few times throughout the book but I liked the characters and that ending...well it looks like 3 in denial are going to need to grovel hard.

MUST READ BOOK!!
Format: Kindle
I was in a huge reading slump, when one of my favorite authors recommended this book in her readers group (The amazing Marie Mistry 🫶) and I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Now I’m in the club crying about having to wait until December for Term 2! This book is about a girl named Pandora who has suffered a life that nobody would ever wish to have. This book is about Pandora learning how to live, learning about herself and what she really wants. She has a long journey to find out all of these things, but she took the first steps in this book and it was beautiful to read. Some of the men in this book are our dream men, Hunter and Reed 😍 and then we have the men who need some work and who we all really just want to beat up until they admit what they really feel, Skel, Bram and Dexter. But that cliffy was a killer and I absolutely cannot wait until the next book!! You have written an absolute dream of a book Lyra and I eagerly await the next installment in this series!!!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
