Here is an introduction on how to cultivate Euphorbia milii to make it more vigorous and teach you the correct maintenance knowledge of this green plant flower. Let's get to know it together.
Euphorbia milii is a very common flowering plant.
Its flowers are very tiny, but fortunately, the quantity of flowers is large enough.
Under the contrast of green leaves, it still looks like it's bursting with flowers.
Generally, the Euphorbia milii bought in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas is a small pot.
But if it is in the tropics, it can grow very large.
Because Euphorbia milii is a typical tropical plant, this determines its maintenance environment.
In spring, summer, and autumn, it can be kept outdoors in places with sufficient sunlight.
The more sunlight it gets, the better it grows.
But in winter, when temperatures are low, we need to move it indoors in time to avoid frost damage, which could cause the plant to freeze or die.
In winter, the indoor maintenance temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius, which is one of the main factors that ensure it can bloom all year round.
By paying attention to the maintenance temperature, the Euphorbia milii in a home setting can bloom all year round.
It keeps growing and blooming, so it requires a high amount of nutrients.
Except for winter, a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be given in the other three seasons.
Generally, supplementing 2-3 times a month is enough, with the attention to applying thin and frequent fertilization.
After the flowers have faded, pruning should be done in time, followed by the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
Using a 1:1000 ratio of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, both foliar spray and root watering should be done simultaneously, which is beneficial for the next bloom to burst.
Euphorbia milii is a plant of the Euphorbiaceae family and is considered a type of succulent plant.
Its root system is not very developed, and with a relatively thick stem, it can store some water.
Watering should not be too frequent.
Excessive watering can lead to difficulty in root respiration, causing yellowing and falling of leaves, and in severe cases, it can lead to root rot.
When watering, it is important to wait for the soil to dry before watering, and when watering, it should be thorough.
If you can't master the amount of watering, it's better to be a bit dry than too wet.
