info
This euphorbia hybrid’s parents are from seasonally dry parts of South Africa and as such likes to go totally dry between waterings, making it a low-maintenance plant. If you see your Euphorbia begin to shrivel or lose firmness, your plant is likely totally dry and should be watered. To get good healthy growth your plant doesn’t want to sit around totally dried out during its growing season. Once it is dry water it.

This hybrid’s parent species comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and will be intolerant of overwatering, though extra sharp drainage (pumice mixed half and half with cactus mix) will make this plant much more tolerant of winter rains. With this sharp mix you’ll need to water more frequently in summer.

Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering.
