How to grow Euphorbia milii in winter

1. Insulation treatment

It does not have good cold resistance, so the temperature needs to be controlled in winter when the temperature is low. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, it is easy to get frostbite, and if it stays in a low temperature environment for a long time, it will stop growing. In severe cases, frost damage will occur and the plant will be frozen to death. Therefore, it should be moved to a warm place indoors for management in winter, and the minimum temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees.

2. Get more sun

It is a plant that likes light, and the light in winter is very soft. It is best to place it in a sunny place to ensure its growth. More sunlight can increase the plant's temperature and encourage it to accumulate more nutrients, which is beneficial for its growth and wintering.

3. Reduce watering

In the low temperature environment in winter, water evaporates relatively slowly, and the plants grow slowly, so the water demand will also decrease. Therefore, in winter, keep the plant in a slightly dry environment and reduce the amount and frequency of watering, which is beneficial to its growth. In addition, if you need to water, you should do it at noon when the temperature is higher, and let the water dry for a while first. The water temperature should be as close to the soil temperature as possible, which can reduce stimulation and damage to the root system.

4. Stop fertilizing

Its growth rate is slow in winter and no fertilizer is needed. Even if fertilizer is applied, it is difficult to absorb and will instead cause fertilizer damage and hinder growth. Just apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once before winter to meet the needs.
