Description
Euphorbia neriifolia, also known as Sehund (Hindi) and Sihund or Nivdung (Marathi), is a medicinal and ornamental succulent plant widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. Its thick, cactus-like stems store water, making it extremely drought tolerant and easy to maintain.
Traditionally, this plant is known for its therapeutic and healing properties, including uses in skincare, wound care, and immunity support (as per traditional practices). Its bold, architectural appearance makes it an excellent choice for home gardens, rock gardens, pots, compound walls, and xeriscaping projects.
It thrives in hot and dry climates, requires minimal watering, and can also be grown as a natural hedge or fencing plant due to its thorny structure. Perfect for beginners and low-maintenance garden lovers, Euphorbia neriifolia is a resilient and eco-friendly addition to any green space.
