Soil requirementsThe soil requirements of Euphorbia obesa are not particularly high, and loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam can be used. As long as you pay attention to the soil not being compacted during maintenance, ordinary soil can be used. Watering requirementsDuring the growth and development period of the Euphorbia obesa, water it when the soil is dry and water it when the soil is wet. Be careful not to accumulate water in the pot, otherwise it will easily cause root rot. When the flower buds have appeared but have not yet opened, do not water more, otherwise it will cause the flowers and buds to fall off. In the dry and windy spring and summer, you should often use clean water to spray the stems and leaves, and sprinkle water on the surrounding ground to maintain a high air humidity, which is more conducive to growth and flowering. Sunlight requirementsEuphorbia pulcherrima prefers a warm and humid environment, but not direct sunlight. When the weather is hot in summer, the sunlight is relatively strong, so the plant should be placed under a shade to avoid direct sunlight. Water the surrounding ground frequently or spray water to increase the air humidity. The weather is cold in winter. The Euphorbia obesa is not cold-resistant, so it should be placed in a sunny place after being brought indoors. Temperature requirementsThe Euphorbia pulcherrima is not cold-resistant. In northern areas, it should be brought indoors around the Cold Dew Festival and placed in a sunny place after bringing it indoors. From November to March , the maintenance temperature of Euphorbia obesa should be kept between 10 and 15 ℃. The temperature should not be too high. Above 25 ℃, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall and affect the symmetry of the plant shape. From March to June , the temperature should be kept between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius. Too low a temperature will affect bud formation. Pruning requirementsBecause the modified stems of the Euphorbia obesa are soft, thin bamboo poles are needed as supports. It is best to tie them into an oval-shaped support and distribute the modified stems neatly and evenly on the support and tie them up. This can prevent them from breaking and facilitate ventilation and light transmission, making the plant shape symmetrical and beautiful. Fertilization requirementsEuphorbia pulcherrima likes fertilizer. Apply decomposed thin cake fertilizer water once every 15-20 days during the growing season. After the Spring Festival, change to applying liquid fertilizer once every 10 days, and promptly wipe off excessive side buds and branches sprouting from the base to reduce nutrient consumption and keep the plant shape neat and beautiful. Apply 1-2 times of quick-acting phosphorus fertilizer during the budding period to promote large and colorful flowers. |
