Plant Care:

Light:

• Bright Indirect Light: Euphorbia plants generally thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them in a location with filtered sunlight or partial shade. Some varieties can tolerate direct sunlight, but prolonged exposure may cause leaf burn.

• Outdoor Placement: If grown outdoors, provide a location with partial shade, especially during the intense afternoon sun. Ensure the plant is protected from extreme heat.

Watering:

• Infrequent Watering: Euphorbias, including succulent varieties, prefer infrequent but deep watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

• Watering Frequency: The watering frequency will depend on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific Euphorbia species. In general, water is used sparingly, especially during the dormant period.

• Winter Dormancy: Many Euphorbia species go through a winter dormancy period where they require less water. Reduce watering during this time to mimic their natural growth cycle.

• Avoid Overwatering: Overwatering can lead to root rot. It's better to do it underwater than overwater, Euphorbias.

Fertilization:

• Balanced Fertilizer: Feed Euphorbias with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Choose a fertilizer with a balanced N-P-K ratio.

• Frequency of Fertilization: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season. Reduce or eliminate fertilization in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

• Dilute Fertilizer: Dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength to avoid overfeeding. Euphorbias generally has lower nutrient requirements compared to some other plants.
