Although it looks like the succulent has been planted directly into your whimsical container, when it's time to water, you can simply remove the cachepot from the container and water. Because this plant prefers soil to dry between waterings you need to ensure that the container has dried completely before adding more water. They are great for adding interest to gardens with contrasting foliage colors, textures, and forms. If overwatered, Euphorbia are prone to developing root rot, which is usually a death sentence for the plant. Root rot is very common in plants that don't have drainage. Euphorbia is best not to be grown in a container that does not have drainage. You must also ensure you are very exact in your watering schedule in order to avoid overwatering. Also, you want to extend the time between waterings as much as possible. Although they require more water than most other similar-looking plants, you should ensure they get only the right amount.

However, in extremely hot climates, the sun can bleach the plant's colors. To keep their vibrant colors, they need to be exposed to the sun as much as possible. If the weather is favorable, Euphorbia enopla can also be grown outdoors. How do you maintain the flowers for maximum enjoyment? There are many colors available for each species of flower. These plants produce male or female flower when in bloom. This mix allows for quicker drainage than soils designed for vegetable and flower use. As with any succulent, proper drainage is key in preventing root rot.

To be clear, I don't recommend planting succulents in containers without drainage. Succulents can be toxic for cats. You should note that succulents grown in partial shade grow slower than plants grown in full sunshine, but aren't as strong. Although these plants grow faster, they can become unhealthy if they do not get enough sunlight. They may even reach a length that causes the branches to fall off. E. enopla can become stretched out if it doesn't get enough sunlight. Remembering whose turn it is to be watered today, how much and how often, etc. can get exhausting. These cacti often need to be repotted at each new growing season. Dormancy gives plants a fresh start by resting and growing again when the weather is warm. If you don't know them, you won't even realize they're plants. Because we're talking about a desert we can all agree water is a valuable resource and most cacti know how to protect it against predators. Don't water near the leaves, but at the base.

Pro Tip - Ghost plants grow faster from leaves than from a whole plant. 1. Place the plants outside and let them rest in the shade for 4-7 day. The collection will grow to be dozens upon dozens of succulents, filling every inch. These plants' branches average just over one inch in size.

If left unchecked, the effects of this inset may result in extensive damage to your plant. Succulents are sun-lovers and are accustomed to bright sunlight. However, too much sun can cause severe damage. After your Euphorbia is planted, you can start caring for it just like you would for a mature plant. Euphorbia enopla is best when fertilized, even if it's not needed, especially if they are in pots. The plastic and glazed ceramic pots are not able to absorb water so this will be a consideration when you determine how often you water your plants. Pots with no holes can be used to grow succulents. You can check the soil by inserting a soil moisture tester or your finger in the soil at the base of the succulent. Don't be tempted to water your plant if the soil is wet or damp as you could drown your succulent and cause its roots to rot. Step 7: Once the paper towel is dry, water it. It should be watered heavily enough for the excess to drain out the hole in the bottom of the pot but allow the soil to dry out before watering again.
