Onderhoudsinstructies
Euphorbia trigona thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It can tolerate low humidity but does best in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or cactus mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent water from sitting at the roots, which can cause rot. A pot with drainage holes is recommended.Kunstmest
Fertilize Euphorbia trigona during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 2-7-7 formula. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.Verpotten
Repot Euphorbia trigona every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging the roots and wear gloves to protect yourself from the thorns.Voortplanting
Propagate Euphorbia trigona through stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy stem, let it dry for a few days to callous over, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until the cutting establishes roots.Snoeien
Prune Euphorbia trigona to maintain its shape and remove any damaged or dead stems. Use clean, sharp tools and wear gloves to protect yourself from the plant's sap, which can be irritating to the skin.Toxiciteit
