DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Euphorbia lactea requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and prefers low to moderate humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant is relatively easy to care for but does require some attention to its light and watering needs.Bodem
Euphorbia lactea prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to mimic its natural arid habitat.Kunstmest
Fertilize Euphorbia lactea with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as too much can harm the plant. Once a month during the growing season is usually sufficient.Verpotten
Repot Euphorbia lactea every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot with good drainage and handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its delicate roots. Repotting is best done in the spring.Voortplanting
Euphorbia lactea can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or summer, allow them to dry and callous over for a few days, then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the cuttings in a warm, bright location until they establish roots.Snoeien
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and size of Euphorbia lactea. Prune in the spring or summer by cutting back any overgrown or damaged stems. Use clean, sharp tools and wear gloves to protect yourself from the plant's toxic sap.Toxiciteit
Euphorbia lactea is toxic to both pets and humans. The sap can cause skin irritation and, if ingested, can lead to gastrointestinal issues. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
