How to breed Euphorbia

Propagation by cuttings

First choose the cuttings

In May and June, you need to cut the stem segments that have grown well as cuttings;

After cutting it, it should be dried in the sun first. After the wound has dried and shrunk slightly, it can be inserted into the sand.

Do not water the cuttings that have just been inserted into the plain sand, because if you water them immediately after insertion, the stem segments will rot from the bottom to the top.

So be sure to wait 2-3 days before spraying water.

Then it's time to put it in the basin

When potting, the potting soil should be mixed with garden soil, decomposed manure soil, river sand, etc.

When planting, first put a layer of slag or coarse sand at the bottom of the flowerpot. This is to facilitate drainage to avoid water accumulation and root rot, which will affect the growth of the plant.

After potting, water thoroughly. Remember to place it in a cool place for a week, and then move it to a place with weak light immediately after a week. Then gradually move it to a place with stronger light, which can help the plant adapt to the changing environment and promote growth and development.

Euphorbia tridentata is relatively drought-resistant, so you don’t need to water it frequently. Just water it when you see the soil in the pot is dry.

Final growth temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of Euphorbia pulcherrima is 22-28℃. If it is higher or lower than this temperature, Euphorbia pulcherrima will go dormant or its growth will be affected.

Therefore, we must pay attention to winter insulation measures. As long as the temperature is above 7℃, we can safely overwinter.

Cutting precautions

During the cutting period, pay attention to pruning. If you see that the cockscomb-shaped stems have degenerated into columnar stems, you must immediately cut off the columnar stems to ensure the beautiful appearance of the plant.

Pay attention to ensuring sufficient light and a warm temperature environment are also important for its growth.
