Pour water into the container, making sure the water surface is about 3-5 cm away from the container mouth. Place the branches in the container and insert them firmly, with the branches about 1-2 cm into the water.

Precautions for water-growing Euphorbia milii

After hydroponics, the water source of Euphorbia milii needs to be changed frequently. Generally, the water needs to be changed every 2-3 days.
