How to prune a Euphorbia nerifolia? Let me teach you the correct pruning method
The Euphorbia nerifolia (Indian spurge tree) sounds like a very imposing plant, and in fact its form is indeed very tall. So have you ever learned about how to prune a Euphorbia nerifolia? Let's take a look together!
1. Pruning method for Euphorbia nerifolia
To prune a Euphorbia nerifolia, you can prepare a sharp knife to ensure the cut surface is smooth; determine the position and cut off the top shoot, and make the movement fairly quick. Because milky sap will flow from the branches and leaves, seal the cut with plant ash after pruning, which can prevent excessive water loss.
2. How to water a Euphorbia nerifolia
1. Watering method in summer. In summer, the Euphorbia nerifolia needs a large amount of water, especially when the temperature is particularly high; you must water more in an appropriate amount to keep the potting soil continuously moist. However, note that if there are continuous rainy days, you must promptly pour out the accumulated water in the pot, otherwise too much accumulated water will cause the roots of the Euphorbia nerifolia to rot, and in severe cases it will even cause the whole plant to die.
2. Watering method in spring and autumn. The Euphorbia nerifolia is a xerophytic flowering plant. When watering in these two seasons, adhere to the principle of watering when dry and letting it dry between waterings, and strictly control the amount of water, otherwise it will affect its normal growth and development. Generally, you should wait until the soil in which the Euphorbia nerifolia grows is completely dry before watering, and water thoroughly each time, then wait until the soil is completely dry again before watering next time.
3. Watering method in winter. In winter, the Euphorbia nerifolia needs sufficient sunlight and has a relatively low demand for water. The temperature needs to be kept above 10°C to 12°C, and watering needs to be restrained. If the winter temperature is below 10°C, it will enter a state of suspended growth. At this time, you absolutely must not water it, otherwise the environment of low temperature and high humidity will cause the plant's roots to rot.
