Temperature:
Euphorbia lactea Green Bean Cristata Variegated thrives in temperatures ranging
between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect it from frost or extreme cold, as
it is sensitive to low temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Keep it in a location
where it is shielded from chilly drafts and direct exposure to harsh winter
weather.
For the best results, plant Euphorbia lactea in a well-draining soil mix that
mimics its natural environment. Here’s a recommended potting mix recipe:
-
Perlite: 30%
-
Coarse Sand: 20%
-
Well-Rotted Farmyard Manure
(FYM): 5%
-
Vermicompost: 5%
-
AMF (Arbuscular Mycorrhizal
Fungi)
(optional): Follow the instructions on the package for the recommended
amount.
- Ensure the mix is
well-draining to prevent water from sitting in the soil, which can cause
root rot.
- Thoroughly mix the
components to ensure an even distribution of nutrients for optimal growth.
- Water sparingly, allowing
the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause the
roots to rot.
Water your Euphorbia lactea only when the soil is dry to the touch, as it is
drought-tolerant. This succulent is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure that
the pot has good drainage. It's better to under-water than over-water, so check
the soil regularly and adjust watering as needed.
Place your Euphorbia lactea in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. It
can tolerate some direct sunlight but may prefer partial shade during the
hottest part of the day. A south- or west-facing window is ideal, but if
growing outdoors, ensure it is protected from intense midday sun to prevent
sunburn.
Feed your Euphorbia lactea with micronutrients once a month to promote healthy
growth. You can also add a general-purpose fungicide, such as Conika,
every 25 to 30 days to prevent fungal diseases, which are common in succulents.
This treatment will help maintain the plant’s health and vitality.
The plant prefers a fast-draining potting mix, ensuring good aeration to
prevent root rot. Our recommended mix provides an ideal balance of nutrients,
drainage, and aeration to support the growth of your succulent. If creating
this mix isn’t possible, you can easily purchase it from our website, specially
formulated for succulents and cacti.
