Euphorbia milii f. Lurea (Pink Crown of Thorns) Plant Care
Euphorbias native to desert habitats require conditions much like those adequate for cacti. They are adopted for outdoor cultivation in mild, dray regions, but also grow well as container plants indoors or outside.
Light- Most Euphorbias are sun lovers, but some will tolerate partial shade. Place your indoor Euphorbias on windows with southern or southeastern exposure.
Soil- Euphorbias requires well-drained soil. Use a commercial mixture formulated for cacti and succulents or make your own potting mix.
Temperature- High summer temperatures are not a problem for succulent Euphorbias, but minimum winter temperatures vary.Water- Succulent Euphorbias can survive drought, but do not mean that they need it. From spring to fall, water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter.
Fertilizing- Plants in pots need regular feeding. Apply a balanced fertilizer in a 10-10-10 NPK f diluted to 1 /4 strength once a week during the growing season.
