☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright light to full sun

• Indoors, place near a south- or west-facing window for best growth

• Slowly acclimate to direct sunlight to prevent scorching

💧 Water

• Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings

• In spring and summer, water every 2–3 weeks depending on light and warmth

• In winter, water just enough to prevent shrivelling — less is best

🌡️ Temperature

• Prefers warmth: 18–30°C

• Protect from frost and cold drafts (keep above 10°C)

🌫️ Humidity

• Enjoys dry air — no misting needed

• Excellent airflow helps prevent rot

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 6–8 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertilizer

• Skip feeding during cooler months

⚠️ Safety

• Caution: Euphorbia sap is toxic and can cause skin irritation — always handle with gloves

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats, dogs, and little hands

🌱 Quick Tips

• Use a well-draining cactus mix with sand or perlite

• Wipe stems gently to highlight their marbled texture

• Repot every few years when root-bound
