Euphorbia esula aka Leafy Spurge

Euphorbia esula, also known as green spurge or leafy spurge, is a native, deciduous, herbaceous perennial plant found in central and southern Europe, extending to England, the Netherlands, and Germany, as well as through most of Asia up to Korea and eastern Siberia. It grows up to approximately 90cm (3ft) in height, with new stems emerging from buds on an underground rhizome in spring. The rhizome can become extensive and has deep vertical roots capable of penetrating several meters into the soil. Clusters of small yellow-green floral bracts appear in spring and summer, followed by abundant seed production. While lacking in ornamental value, this plant has become a nuisance and invasive weed in various countries due to its ability to regenerate from its deep root system and produce copious amounts of seeds. Leafy Spurge, a rare houseplant, poses an exciting challenge for growers and requires minimal watering to thrive. It thrives best in long-lasting, direct light, ideally positioned within one foot of a window. Well-draining soil is crucial for Leafy Spurge's growth. Regular repotting, doubling the pot size each time, eliminates the need for additional fertilizers. Belonging to the Euphorbia genus, Leafy Spurge is native to the Azores to Eurasia.
