water info |
This euphorbia’s parents are from arid areas of Madagascar and as such likes to go totally bone dry between waterings in winter, making them very low-maintenance. To get good healthy growth your plant doesn’t want to sit around totally dried out during its summer growing season. Once it is dry, water it. This plant comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and will be intolerant of overwatering. This euphorbia will begin to shrivel branches if under-watered during summer. If it’s in a nice hot spot it will grow quickly with good drainage and water when it’s about 2/3 dry. Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering. |
