Temperature:
Euphorbia fruticosa thrives in warm, dry conditions, with an ideal temperature
range of 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). It can tolerate brief temperature
fluctuations but should be protected from frost and cold drafts.
For optimal growth, it’s important to provide a well-draining soil mix that
promotes healthy root development. Here's the perfect potting mix recipe:
- Perlite (30%): Improves drainage and
prevents water retention around the roots.
- Coarse Sand (20%): Helps maintain soil
aeration, ensuring the roots stay healthy.
- Well-Rotted Farmyard Manure
(FYM) (5%):
Adds organic matter and essential nutrients for steady growth.
- Vermicompost (5%): Provides natural,
nutrient-rich compost to support plant health.
- AMF (Optional): Follow package
instructions for the recommended amount of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi to
help enhance root development and nutrient absorption.
Tips:
- Ensure your mix is
well-draining to avoid waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot.
- Thoroughly mix all
ingredients to ensure even distribution of nutrients and improve soil
texture.
- Water sparingly, allowing
the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent overwatering.
Euphorbia fruticosa prefers a "less is more" approach when it comes
to watering. Water the plant only when the soil has completely dried out.
During the active growing season (spring and summer), water every two weeks,
and reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
Euphorbia fruticosa thrives in bright, indirect light. For indoor placement,
choose a sunny windowsill where it will receive adequate sunlight throughout
the day. Outdoors, place the plant in a spot that gets full sun or partial
shade. Ensure the location has well-draining soil to avoid waterlogged
conditions.
Feed your Euphorbia fruticosa with a balanced micronutrient fertilizer once a
month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth. If the plant shows
any signs of fungal infection, treat it with a fungal pesticide such as
"Conika," which is especially effective for succulents and cacti.
