Euphorbia lactea crest Quart

While this is an actual plant, it may be considered something of a Frankenstein of the succulent world. Euphorbia is known for its less-than-friendly presentation - thorns are often visible and the sap can be extremely unpleasant if ingested or if it gets on the skin. That said, this Euphorbia lactea crest (aka 'Cristata') is undeniably fascinating with its pink and silvery green coloring. The darker green, squarish bit below is actually another variety of euphorbia, equally unfriendly, but more common looking.  
Treat this as you would any other succulent, meaning thorough watering when completely dry, lots of indirect light, and not much more in the way of care. Honestly, we have no idea how big this plant will get. One source indicated it could get up to three feet tall and about two feet wide, but we're assuming that is under ideal conditions, and we're not sure how long it would take to reach a mature size. Don't hesitate to combine with other indoor succulents for a unique planter, or let this Franken-plant stand on its own. It will be sure to capture everyone's attention.
