I. Introduction to Euphorbia trigona
Euphorbia trigona, also known as triangle霸王鞭, measuring stick, and colorful cloud pavilion, is a succulent plant of the Euphorbiaceae family. Its shape resembles a columnar cactus, growing upright and can reach 2 to 3 meters.
II. Growth habits of Euphorbia trigona
Euphorbia trigona prefers dry soil, drought-resistant but not cold-resistant. It should be grown indoors in the north during winter, while it can be cultivated outdoors in the south.
1. Potting soil
Euphorbia trigona is not picky about soil, growing well in loose, well-drained, and fertile soil. When potting, you can use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1.
2. Fertilization and watering
Euphorbia trigona is drought-resistant and does not tolerate excessive moisture. Long-term moist potting soil can lead to root rot. Watering should be controlled during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely before watering. If bottom fertilizer has been applied at potting time, no additional fertilization is needed for good growth.
