    • Euphorbia mellifera Care Instructions

    • Light: Prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Best flowering occurs in bright spots.

    • Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Avoid heavy or waterlogged areas.

    • Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Once established, it's drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering.

    • Feeding: Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring, especially if growing in poor soil.

    • Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Wear gloves—its milky sap can irritate skin.

    • Hardiness: Hardy in mild areas (down to around -5°C). In colder regions, protect roots with mulch or fleece during winter.

    • Pests/Diseases: Generally trouble-free but watch for aphids or mealybugs.
