• Potting Mix:
  

To ensure optimal growth, we recommend a specialized potting mix for your Euphorbia. The ideal mix is well-draining, ensuring the plant doesn't retain excess moisture. A great recipe includes:

• Perlite (30%) – Ensures excellent drainage and aeration.
• Coarse Sand (20%) – Enhances drainage and prevents compacting.
• Well-Rotted Farmyard Manure (FYM) (5%) – Provides organic nutrients for healthy growth.
• Vermicompost (5%) – Adds beneficial microorganisms that promote root health.
• AMF (Optional) – Follow the package instructions for the recommended amount.

• Tips:

• Mix all ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of nutrients and proper drainage.
• Ensure the mix is well-draining, as Euphorbia officinarum ssp. Echinus does not like wet roots.
• Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

• Watering:
  

Water this plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water once every two weeks, and reduce watering during the fall and winter months.

• Placement:
  

This Euphorbia species thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a sunny window or in a well-lit area to ensure optimal growth. If grown outdoors, choose a spot with full sun exposure.

• Fertilization:
  

Feed the plant with micronutrients once a month during the growing season. If you notice any signs of fungal infection, use a fungal treatment like "Conika," which is highly effective for cacti and succulents.
