Care guide
These Euphorbia are not fussy plants and reasonably easy to care for. They prefer plenty of light and grow well when given either full morning sun or when grown under 40% shade cloth. They need to be kept in a gritty soil to ensure good drainage, as they are prone to root rot if kept wet. They should get plenty of water during the warmer months of the year, but should not get any water during winter, as they are dormant during this time.
Growing season
Spring and summer.
Propagation
Cuttings.
