• Care Instructions:

Temperature:

Euphorbia horwoodii thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to protect it from cold damage. Keep it in a warm, stable environment and protect it from frost.

• Potting Mix:
  

A well-draining, slightly sandy soil mix is essential for Euphorbia horwoodii’s success. Here’s a recommended potting mix to ensure it grows healthy and strong:

• Perlite: 30%
• Coarse Sand: 20%
• Well-Rotted Farmyard Manure (FYM): 5%
• Vermicompost: 5%
• AMF (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi) (optional): Follow package instructions for the recommended amount.

• Tips:

• Ensure that the mix is well-draining to prevent excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.
• Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of nutrients and proper drainage.
• Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant is very drought-tolerant and prefers to be on the drier side.

• Watering:

Euphorbia horwoodii is highly resistant to drought, so it’s best to water only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot, so always ensure the soil has a chance to dry out before adding more water. During the winter months, water even less frequently, as the plant goes into a period of dormancy.

• Placement:
  

This succulent does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but it’s important to protect it from harsh, intense midday sun to prevent sunburn. A south or west-facing window with filtered light works well, but outdoor placement in a spot with partial shade is also suitable. Make sure it’s placed in a spot where it can receive enough light to stay healthy, but not so much that it gets scorched.

• Fertilization:

Feed Euphorbia horwoodii once a month with a water-soluble, balanced fertilizer or micronutrients to support its growth. Every 25 to 30 days, apply a fungicide such as Conika, which is particularly effective for succulents and cacti. This will protect the plant from fungal diseases and help maintain its health.

• Soil:

Euphorbia horwoodii thrives in well-draining soil, and the potting mix recipe provided above ensures a balanced environment with proper drainage and aeration. If you’re unable to make the mix at home, you can purchase a pre-made succulent potting mix from our website, specifically designed for cacti and succulents.
