Breeding methods and precautions of Euphorbia

Euphorbia is a green succulent plant. It is native to the arid and hot tropical regions of eastern India. It was later introduced to all parts of the world. It is now a popular ornamental plant in the flower market. It has a unique fleshy stem, which often becomes fan-shaped or cockscomb-shaped when it grows up, which is particularly beautiful. But how should this Euphorbia be cultivated in normal times? What should people pay attention to during cultivation? I will give a detailed introduction to these issues in a moment.

How to cultivate Euphorbia

1. Soil and temperature

Soil and temperature are two important conditions for people to grow Euphorbia tricolor. Euphorbia tricolor has strong vitality and is not demanding on soil. Usually, it only needs to be planted in sandy loam with good drainage. However, it has high temperature requirements and poor cold resistance. It can only grow vigorously when the outside temperature is between 20 and 28 degrees.

2. Water and sunlight

When growing Euphorbia paniculata, you must provide it with appropriate water and sufficient sunlight. This plant is drought-resistant and does not need excessive watering. You only need to add water in time when the pot soil is dry and white. However, it has a high demand for sunlight during its growth period. It should be placed in a sunny environment. Insufficient light will cause its fleshy stems to grow too long and its leaves to turn yellow.

Breeding precautions

1. Pay attention to fertilization

When growing Euphorbia tridentata, special attention should be paid to fertilizing, because this plant does not like fertilizer and its demand for fertilizer during the growth period is particularly small. When planting, you can add leaf mold and a small amount of cake fertilizer as base fertilizer in the potting soil. After planting, do not apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer. Just apply sparse cake fertilizer once every one to two months. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will cause various adverse symptoms such as leaf falling, root rot or death.

2. Pay attention to pruning

When growing Euphorbia paradisiaca, you must pay attention to pruning, especially when the plant grows the original columnar fleshy stems, it must be cut off as soon as possible, and after cutting it, it must be moved to a sunny environment. Only in this way can the Euphorbia paradisiaca grow normally and have a beautiful shape.
