Species belongs to the group geofyt, ie type of plants, whose bodies are still refresh unfavorable season underground. Euphorbia stellata grows with řepovitým completely immersed in the root of the country. Types of forms basal flat green succulent branches, up to 30 cm long and 2 cm wide at the edges with fine spines. On the upper side of the serpentine pattern. Small flowers obevují relatively abundant on the edges of top part of branches.
In cultivation, there are two forms - with intact řepovitým 
root or caudex formed with the jumble of variously conjoined ztlustlých roots. The plant requires a constant room temperature and careful watering. In cultivation is commonly grown with the root surface povytaženým of potting compost. The cultivation of young plants should have caudex in the early years included in the country. I remember when I wanted to have a beautiful Pachypodium succulentum kaudexíkem as soon as possible and I even raised a young seedling above the soil. Of course, I stopped by caudex development to a minimum. After achieving the desired size and its caudex povytežení in a pot, you get a beautiful efekntní plant resembling a tree with a huge old wrinkled trunk.
