Euphorbia (Danda Thor)
Euphorbia spp.
Known across Pakistan simply as thor, columnar euphorbias are the plants growing on boundary walls and in courtyard corners from Multan to Peshawar, largely untouched by anyone for decades. They are ribbed, branching, spined and effectively indestructible.
We grow several forms, from tight-ribbed candelabra types to the thicker-stemmed varieties. All share the same caustic white sap — worth respecting, and worth keeping away from children and animals.
- A genuinely local plant, grown across Pakistan for generations
- Effectively indestructible once established
- Caustic white sap — handle with gloves

How to look after your Euphorbia (Danda Thor)
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Bright light with some direct sun. Most colour up beautifully with four hours of morning sun.
- Water
- Every 2–3 weeks in summer, monthly in winter. Water into the soil, not over the rosette.
- Humidity
- Low. Dry air is fine.
- Soil
- Gritty, mineral-heavy mix with sharp drainage.
- Feeding
- A weak feed twice during the growing season.
- Temperature
- 10–42°C. Most are hardy to brief cold but not to frost.
