Notas de cultivo
Loves a nice warm position, which is key for this plant.
Generally it's unnecessary to prune this plant, as it affects the characteristic zig-zag form.
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 on your skin or in your eyes).
