How to prune Euphorbia

How to prune Euphorbia

1. Seedling stage

For seedlings that have just been planted in pots, they need to be pruned when they grow to about 10 cm in height. Pinching off the top of the seedlings in time can promote the growth of side branches nearby. When these side branches grow to a certain height, you can cut off the top branches to promote the fullness and luxuriance of the whole plant. As the seedlings grow gradually and have 4-5 branches, the branches that are too long can be cut short.

2. After Adulthood

For adult Euphorbia milii, the main thing to do is to deal with the branches, cutting off the overgrown branches, diseased and insect-infested branches, and weak branches on the plant. This kind of pruning helps promote the growth of branches and accumulate nutrients, thereby achieving the purpose of promoting flowering. In addition to pruning the branches, they are also shaped to maintain good aesthetics. The cut branches can be used for cuttings to grow new plants.

3. After flowering

It is also very important to prune after the flowering period. If you want to promote the number of flowers, you should shorten the long branches after the flowering period, leaving 2 branches on each branch.
