Plant Care
Thriving in bright, indirect light and requiring minimal care, this cactus exemplifies the Zen principles of simplicity and understated beauty.
Water
Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain, and then wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering again.
Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
Light
This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much harsh afternoon sun may scorch the leaves.
Ideally, provide filtered light or place it near a window with filtered light to maintain its vibrant color and healthy growth.
Temperature
Euphorbia submammillaris prefers a warm environment, thriving in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C).
It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost and extreme cold, which can damage the plant.
