At least 2 hours direct sun, more for optimal growth

Water when soil is totally dry, even waiting to see a small amount of wrinkling on plant


Not Pet Friendly - Avoid ingesting

Sits 2.5-4' tall by 1.5-2.5' wide, in a 10" grow pot
Pro Tips
Euphorbia need more water than true cactus, as they grow faster and store less water. Still, allow this plant to dry well, even in lots of sun. Euphorbia also propagate easily! Cuttings can be made into new baby plants. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling Euphorbia, as the sap can cause skin irritation. Handle with care!
