RiegoBajo – Moderado

Water this plant infrequently, when the top two inches or so of soil feel dry. Usually this will mean every week or two in dry weather. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every four to six weeks in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. This plant will look more lush if given water every two to four weeks during dry weather once established. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.

Notas de cultivo

Gophers avoid this plant due to its toxic sap, and planting it through a garden can help deter them from eating other plants nearby.

Take care when pruning, as euphorbias have toxic sap that can cause a skin rash or damage to the eyes (make sure to rinse repeatedly with water if sap gets anywhere near your eyes).

Vegetation will freeze off in extreme cold and regrow in spring. Cutting the plant down in spring will refresh it and remove the previous years spent growth.
