Euphorbia milii or Christ plant seems to occur in a variety of bush and forest habitats, but always on rocks (usually granite formations). It is threatened by habitat degradation, fire, and collection for the horticultural trade. It is a thorny, much branched, semi-succulent shrub to ca. 1.5-1.8 m tall, branches covered with spines. It is semi-prostrate or somewhat climbing and quickly forms a low dense hedge which can be easily trimmed without harming the plant. It is widely grown in the tropics as an ornamental for the bright red bracts that resemble, from a distance, geraniums. Bracts of this beautiful shrub—which is seldom out of bloom—come naturally in bright red, but in cultivation, it is available in all warm colors, including red, yellow, coral, and cream.
