- High fascination value
- Waterwise plant that is forgiving when underwatered
- Plant Level: Easy
The Mottled Spurge plant has been grafted from two Euphorbia species, one being a strange mutation that has created a funky crest form, to render this otherworldly creation. It has all of the benefits of most succulent plants: Waterwise and tolerant of brighter light conditions, including some direct sunlight.
This ornamental house plant is small, and thus great as a companion plant for an office desk, next to your computer. Or on a bookshelf, where it will add an element of the exotic.
Place in a brightly lit space, or if this isn't available, then make sure to reduce the frequency of watering considerably.
Please note: Euphorbia are toxic.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to keep your Mottled Spurge healthy and happy.
- Water: Let the top 50% of soil dry out between watering. Water more in summer, less in winter. Aim to water during warmer spells, and err on side of watering so that only 50% of the soil is moist. This reduces risk of rot.
- Light: Bright indirect light, with some direct sunlight possible. Be careful not to leave in searing sunlight as the plant may burn.
- Humidity: No adjustments to humidity required. Standard room humidity is fine.
- Fertilize: Fertilize with some dilute balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
