Care Instructions
Flowering spurge prefers bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant does well in average humidity levels and can tolerate a range of temperatures, though it prefers moderate conditions.Soil
Euphorbia corollata thrives in well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but prefers a moderate nutrient concentration. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to promote healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Euphorbia corollata every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix. Repotting is best done in early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Propagate flowering spurge through seed or stem cuttings. For stem cuttings, take a cutting in late spring or early summer, allow it to dry for a day, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Euphorbia corollata in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged stems and to shape the plant. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Toxicity
All parts of Euphorbia corollata are toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. The milky sap is particularly irritating and can cause severe discomfort if it comes into contact with skin or eyes. It is toxic to both pets and humans.Additional
When handling Euphorbia corollata, wear gloves to protect your skin from the irritating sap. This plant is drought-tolerant once established and can be a good choice for xeriscaping.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
