Bench notes

Care for this Euphorbia obesa 3.5" Pots.

The deepest bench at the nursery. Euphorbias are tougher than they look and quicker to rot than they should be. The sap is the main hazard: wear gloves and keep it out of your eyes.

Light: Full to bright sun. A plant that has been under shade cloth needs two weeks to acclimate before it takes midsummer sun head-on.
Water: Water when the mix is dry and the plant is growing, roughly weekly in summer. In winter, once a month or less. Cold and wet together is what kills them.
Soil: Half pumice, half cactus mix, with a little extra bark for the leafy species. Fast drainage first, everything else second.
Dormancy: Winter rest for nearly all of them: growth stops, some drop leaves. Keep them dry and bright and they wake in spring.

Hardiness

Keep above 45°F for the Madagascan and tropical species; the South African bench tolerates the high 30s if bone-dry.

Feeding

Balanced fertilizer at quarter strength every third watering in the growing season. Nothing from October to March.

Repotting

Every two to three years in late spring. Gloves and eye protection; the white sap burns skin and worse.

Watch for

Corking (brown bark) on old stems is normal; soft brown at the soil line is rot. Mealybugs and spider mites like the growing tips. Yellowing from the bottom up is usually overwatering.
