These euphorbias are very drought tolerant but will grow faster if they receive some summer water, usually every couple weeks to once a month once established. (Let the plant dry out between waterings.) If you aren't getting summer growth you may be underwatering. These plants prefer a dry winter; outdoors in California, they won't need supplemental winter water once established. | |

Notas de cultivo
Prune early to determine later form, but avoid toxic milky sap. Rinse immediately after contact with skin or eyes. The upside to this toxic sap is that the plant is nearly immune to predation by deer, gophers.
This plant loves summer heat.
Interés especial
New growth tips can be colorful in hot, sunny conditions. Useful as a houseplant in a sunny window, too.
