These euphorbias are very drought tolerant but will grow faster if they receive some summer water, usually every couple weeks to 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 central California, they won't need supplemental winter water once established. | |

Notas de cultivo
Bushy when young, treelike with age. Prune early to determine later form, but avoid toxic milky sap. Rinse immediately if contacted with skin or eyes. The upside to this toxic sap is that the plant is nearly immune to predation.
Plant loves heat.
