Euphorbia Care

• Place euphorbia in a well-lit area; filtered to direct
sunlight.
• Water once every 10 days or twice a month in the
spring and summer; make sure soil is
completely dry between waterings.
• Keep dry in the fall and winter.
• Protect from frost.

• Tip: You can insert a wooden pencil (or anything
similar) into the soil to check the wet/dry status. This
is especially important if a pot has no drainage.
Indoor:

• Light: Place in a well lit area. As long as it’s getting a
couple hours of filtered or direct light it will do great
inside! Euphorbias are tolerant to partial shade and
direct sunlight.

couple hours of bright filtered or indirect light it will

• Light: Place in a well lit area. As long as it’s getting a
couple hours of bright filtered or indirect light it will
do great inside!
• Watering: Every 10 days or twice a month. If the soil
is still damp by the next watering, hold off until it’s
dry. Note: If your home gets great airflow it might dry
quicker and would do great with once a week.
Watering can be based on pot size. Small pots (2-4in) will
do with 4-6oz of water. Medium pots (6-10in), will do
with 1 cup of water. Large pots (10-14in), will do with
1 1/2-2 cups of water.

• Tip: You can insert a wooden pencil (or anything
similar) at the farthest rim of the soil to check the

It says “SOLD OUT” will you get more in stock?

We’re a small nursery so we grow them all year round if by any chance it says sold out; we might have forgotten to update our quantity.
Our quantities are updated on the weekends. If it does not update by Sunday evening then we won’t have any in stock for the coming week.

My plant appears damaged, what’s next?

Please attach several photos of your plant and box. This will let us see what might be the issue.

Please note: Although we sincerely wished all plants came in perfect condition, sometimes leaves/foliage are lost along the way. It does not happen often, but it is possible. This does not mean your plant is damaged but rather the impact on the movement/shipping taking place that occurred dropped some of the leaves this is normal occurrence for “soft succulents” mostly.

For any cactus clump or piece that came off, they can be plopped on any dry soil and will root; very common in opuntias.

This is of course different from damaged plants, such as broken branches/damaged caudex, root systems, or any other damage to the body of the plant.

Shipping method?

All items will be shipped USPS Priority or first class mail. Once it is given/picked up by USPS, we are not responsible for any issues that might have encountered during transit. Please reach out if you have any questions!
