Euphorbia Milii White

Plant Bio

Euphorbia milii, also known as Crown of Thorns, is a succulent plant native to Madagascar that produces clusters of small, colorful flowers. The White variety of Euphorbia milii is characterized by its white flowers and green leaves. It is a popular ornamental plant that is easy to care for.

Here are some general care guidelines for Euphorbia Milii White:

Light: Euphorbia Milii White prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves and flowers.

Watering: Water the plant deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Be careful not to overwater, as this can cause the roots to rot.

Soil: Euphorbia Milii White prefers well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. A cactus or succulent soil mix is ideal.

Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter months.

Pruning: Euphorbia Milii White can be pruned to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Wear gloves and use caution when pruning, as the plant produces a milky sap that can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested.

Pests and diseases: Euphorbia Milii White is relatively pest and disease-resistant. However, it can be susceptible to mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. Keep an eye out for any signs of infestation and treat as necessary.

Winter care: Euphorbia Milii White is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors or protected from freezing temperatures during the winter months.

Remember, like many Euphorbia species, Euphorbia Milii White produces a milky sap that can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested. Handle the plant with care and keep it away from children and pets.
