While it looks like a cactus due to its spines and shape (a result of convergent evolution), it is actually a succulent in the Euphorbiaceae family—closer related to a Poinsettia than a desert cactus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is my plant turning brown at the base? \u003c\/strong\u003eIf the brown area is hard and woody, this is called corking. It is a natural process where the plant strengthens its base to support its weight as it grows taller. However, if the area is soft or mushy, it may indicate overwatering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow fast does it grow?\u003c\/strong\u003e In the right conditions (lots of light!), it is a relatively fast grower for a succulent. You can expect it to put on several inches of growth during the spring and summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe architectural lines of the Euphorbia marmorata pair perfectly with our curated collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rebelplants.co.uk\/collections\/all-plant-pots-ultimate-collection-every-plant\" target=\"_self\"\u003estylish plant pots\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNursery pot 17cm | 40cm-45cm | Decorative pot not included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebel Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56915340657023,"sku":"MARMORATO-51","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0433\/9249\/9880\/files\/euphorbia-marmorata-marbled-euphorbia-plant-1001285.jpg?v=1774518085","url":"https:\/\/rebelplants.co.uk\/products\/large-cactus-euphorbia-marmorata-marbled-euphorbia","provider":"Rebel Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
