Euphorbia piscidermis is a species of plant native to the succulent scrublands of Ethiopa.
Euphorbia piscidermis is a succulent species of Euphorbia, often growing in clusters. Stems are up to 4" wide, and are round in shape. The stems have a very unique fish skin like look to them, making them sought after to collectors. Flowers form occasionally on the stem, developing into capsule-like fruits. Euphorbia gymnocalycioides, Euphorbia turbiniformis and Euphorbia horwoodii are considered the closest relatives to Euphorbia piscidermis.
Euphorbia piscidermis is found growing in the dry scrublands of euphorbia.
This species is difficult to cultivate on its own roots, so it is often grafted onto fast-growing Euphorbia species such as Euphorbia ingens or Euphorbia ammak.
