This listing includes 2 live Variegated Crown of Thorns plants (Euphorbia milii), each growing in a 4-inch pot. The plants have established root systems and are shipped in their pots, carefully wrapped for transit. The supplied 2-inch starter/bare-root shipping language does not match this 4-inch listing and has therefore been excluded.
Variegated Crown of Thorns is an ornamental succulent shrub appreciated for its patterned green-and-cream foliage, thorny stems, and colorful floral bracts. Its distinctive variegation makes each specimen naturally different in pattern and coloration.
You will receive plants similar to those pictured. Natural variation in foliage pattern, branching, color, size, and overall appearance is expected with live plants. Caution: Crown of Thorns has sharp thorns, and its milky sap can irritate skin and eyes. Handle carefully and keep away from children and pets.
Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
Customer Notice:
Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.
Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.
Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.
If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:
• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant
Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
Claims submitted without required photos may not be eligible for review.
Claims submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will be considered accepted as received and may not be eligible for replacement or refund.
