Cutting propagation of Euphorbia milii

First, cut healthy Euphorbia milii branches with 3-4 leaves on them and place them in a cool place to dry. You can use coarse sand as the substrate for cuttings, and then directly insert the branches into the substrate. Water them appropriately to keep the soil in the pot moist.

Seed propagation of Euphorbia milii

Seeding propagation is carried out in spring from March to April. It is best to choose seeds that are plump and full to ensure vitality. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil, and yellow sand into culture soil, fill the flowerpot with appropriate soil, spray it with water to keep it moist, and then sow the seeds in.

Precautions for breeding of Euphorbia milii

1. When propagating Euphorbia milii by cuttings, if there are several cuttings in one pot, you need to pull up the plants by the roots when they grow 2 to 3 leaves, and then plant them in pots separately, and then place the pots in a cool place for maintenance.

2. After 2-3 weeks of cutting propagation of Euphorbia milii, you can expose it to the sun appropriately and try to keep the environment well ventilated. You also need to pay attention to watering. In spring and autumn, do not water it unless the soil in the pot is dry. Do not water it too much during the flowering period, otherwise it will easily cause the flowers to fall and the roots to rot. In summer, when the temperature is higher, you can water it once a day.
