Euphorbia turbiniformis is a rare, small, globose succulent from limestone cliffs in Somalia, once thought extinct. It is notoriously difficult to keep alive, as it rots easily, and is often grafted onto hardier euphorbias.
Euphorbia turbiniformis is a species of Euphorbia native to the limestone cliffs of Somalia, once considered extinct.
Euphorbia turbiniformis is nearly impossible to cultivate; attempts made to cultivate this species have shown this species is extremely sensitive and rots quite easily. For that reason, this species is often grafted to easier species such as Euphorbia canariensis, or Euphorbia ingens.
Euphorbia turbiniformis is found on limestone cliffs 300 meters above sea level and is known to grow among woody shrubs.
