Dragon bone spurge cuttings root quickly, and in 3 years they can grow to the roof, and they can also resist radiation and absorb formaldehyde

Dragon bone spurge is a plant in the Euphorbiaceae family and is generally propagated by cuttings. So how should we take cuttings of dragon bone spurge?

First, choose a branch about ten centimeters long. It can be one broken off at a node, or a half-length branch.

When you cut dragon bone spurge, a white sap will flow out. This sap is toxic, so be very careful and do not get it on your hands.

At this point, wash the sap off cleanly, then dip the wound in a little plant ash or carbendazim to disinfect it, put it in a dark, ventilated place, and let the wound dry. Wait until the wound tightens before taking the cutting.

For cuttings, it is best to use plain soil, such as pure river sand, pure vermiculite, or perlite. You can also use loose, breathable sandy soil for cuttings. When taking cuttings, first moisten the soil to a semi-wet state.

Then insert the cutting into it. Pot it in moist soil without watering. Then place it in a place with bright, indirect light and good ventilation and care for it for about a week. When the potting soil is dry, water it thoroughly, place it in a well-ventilated spot, quickly let the potting soil dry to semi-dry, and then gradually let it receive light. That is all.

The growing temperature for dragon bone spurge is between 25 degrees and 35 degrees. Now it is the high-temperature summer season, so be sure to provide shade. In other seasons, it can be given plenty of light. This way, dragon bone spurge grows faster and faster, and in 3 years it can grow to the roof. Although the sap of dragon bone spurge is toxic, it can absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde from the air. Placed in front of a computer, it can also resist radiation. When growing it at home, just try not to touch the sap.
