Product Description - Pieta

These plants come in a wide assortment of shapes. Some resemble Cacti, forming almost leafless, green, spindly stems with small flowers at the ends. Some varieties are lovely flowering shrubs and some have tree-like growth. Euphorbias contain a milky-looking sap that the stems and leaves secrete after any injury. They may be planted outside and will grow into a large bush, which bears red, pink, or creamy-white bracts.

Plant Care

The hardy types of Euphorbia are easily cultivated outdoors in ordinary soil. The varieties that need to be grown in a greenhouse can be grown outdoors only in warm climates. Most of those grown in the greenhouse are the succulent plants. These plants need a sunny area with good ventilation and a minimum temperature of 50 to 55 degrees. A moderate amount of water is needed in the spring and summer, but less water is needed throughout the fall and winter. Weekly doses of diluted liquid fertilizer should be applied until the bracts are well developed and the yellow flowers begin to open. In early stages of growth, the young plants should be pinched to encourage branching.
