The Euphorbia pulcherrima prefers a warm and humid growing environment, so the Euphorbia pulcherrima can be planted in water.

Moreover, water-implanting Euphorbia obesa can ensure the integrity and beauty of the cuttings, and will not cause root rot.

How to grow water-insertion of Euphorbia milii

First, take healthy and harmless growing branches that have grown for 3 meters as cuttings and cut them short to about 8 cm in length.

After cutting, immediately add 75% industrial concentrated alcohol and soak in the alcohol for about one minute for disinfection.

After disinfection, take out the branches directly, wait until the alcohol on the cut ends has dried, and then use a knife to trim the branches neatly, being careful not to break them.

Secondly, you can put the branches that have been processed and are suitable for water insertion into a bottle filled with clean water for water insertion. The cuttings should generally be immersed to 1/3 of their own height.

After the water is plugged in, be sure to change the water once a week and disinfect it, and make sure there is sufficient ventilation and lighting.

Finally, transplanting is needed. Wait until the plants grown in water have grown roots before transplanting. Be careful not to damage the roots when transplanting, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plants.

The potting soil for transplanting needs to be breathable, fertile and moist.

Finally, after transplanting, it should be placed in a ventilated and well-lit place for maintenance, and it should be observed frequently. If the roots are found to be growing healthily and can absorb nutrients in the soil to provide for the growth of the plant, you can rest assured and can then maintain it normally.
