Euphorbia Francoisii Gen 3 Green
Euphorbia Francoisii Gen 3 Green
Elevate your rare caudiciform collection with the striking, hybrid-selected Euphorbia francoisii 'Gen 3 Green'. Selected through generations of line-breeding for high leaf contrast, the 'Gen 3 Green' strain is renowned for its intense emerald-to-lime green foliage patterned with bright white, cream, and silver mosaic-like veining.
Native to Madagascar's unique flora, this compact succulent develops a thick, tuberous caudex beneath the soil line that can be elevated during repotting to form a bonsai-style specimen. Unlike darker red and bronze strains, Euphorbia francoisii 'Gen 3 Green' retains bright green tones while displaying thick, sculpted leaf margins and crisp pattern definition.
