Growing:

• In the wild it will grow quite tall, but I always keep my euphorbias in check by trimming them.

• Euphorbias do contain a milky sap which can be poisonous so be careful when handling.

• I have been growing them for over thirty five years and have never had any problems.

Key Features:

• Drought Tolerance: As a succulent, Euphorbia lactea is extremely drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering and thriving in dry conditions.

• This plant requires very little care, thriving on neglect, which makes it ideal for gardeners of all skill levels.

Care Tips:

• Light: Euphorbia lactea needs bright, indirect light or partial sun to maintain its vibrant colors and prevent etiolation.

• Soil: It prefers well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

• Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions.
