Care & Growing Condition:
-
Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be tolerated, especially by older plants, but too much intense sunlight can scorch the leaves.
-
Watering: Euphorbia Trigona is drought-tolerant and prefers a deep watering when the soil is dry, followed by allowing the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
-
Soil: Use well-draining soil, ideally a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent water retention.
-
Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F and should be kept away from drafts or cold temperatures.
-
Humidity: Average home humidity is sufficient for Euphorbia Trigona; however, it is crucial to avoid excessively damp environments.
-
Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feeding the plant with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer once a month can promote healthy growth.
-
Pruning: Prune cautiously to control the shape and remove any damaged branches. Always wear gloves and protect your skin from direct contact with the plant's latex sap, as it can be irritating.
