Euphorbia amygdaloides - Poinsettia

Fertilization Euphorbia amygdaloides : During autumn we should fertilize less often, only every 30-40 days; as the days get shorter our plants need less fertilizer.

continental : plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
The Euphorbia amygdaloides is a quite delicate plant, which can’t stand the cold weather; when the autumnal temperatures go below 15°C let’s bring them inside the apartment.

alpine : Let's locate the the Euphorbia amygdaloides in a very luminous place, preferably sunny.
Let’s avoid exposing the Euphorbia amygdaloides to temperatures below 15°C; when the autumnal climate brings nocturnal minimum temperatures quite low let’s move our plants inside the apartment.

mediterranean : These plants favour sunny exposures, where they can enjoy, even for the whole day, some direct solar rays.
We advise growing these plants in a sheltered place; when the autumnal temperatures go below 15°C it’s best to locate the the Euphorbia amygdaloides in the apartment.

continental : Let’s water every 0-1 weeks with 3-4 glasses of water, or even more often if the weather is hot and dry; we should always try to keep the ground slightly damp.

alpine : Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks, wetting the soil thoroughly by using 2-3 glasses of water and keeping it always a bit moist, although avoiding to soak it too much.

mediterranean : For a balanced development these plants need constant and abundant dampness; during this time of year it is good to water frequently, about 4-5 glasses of water at least every -0-0 weeks.

Treatments Euphorbia amygdaloides : During the cold months many pathogens spend the winter in the ground, at the feet of our plants; let’s treat the plants struck by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease with particular attention by applying a wide-range anticryptogamic treatment, to vaporize even on the ground. Let’s gather and destroy the leaves of the sick plants.
