Euphorbia Horrida Alba in a 6.5 cm pot

Latin name:Euphorbia Horrida Alba

 A few words:Bushy succulent, which over time tends to grow at the base. Its bluish stem has a waxy gray-white tint to the touch, which it loses as it ages. Its many irregular ribs can take on a wavy shape over time and are framed by rigid brown ridges. Flowering occurs in the summer season, covering the top of the plant with small flowers of various colors from yellow to bright purple.

Light: It requires a lot of light all seasons, avoiding direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day during the summer months

Water:Cacti need very good drainage and therefore it is advisable to use a special substrate for cacti when transplanting. Watering should be repeated every time the substrate dries. We usually water very well and then wait for it to dry.

Temperature: In general, most cacti withstand temperatures even in the single digits.Several times low temperatures are responsible for a rich spring flowering as they contribute to the differentiation of buds from blastophores to flowerers. Clearly, there are exceptions that require protection from low winter temperatures. In these cases it is advisable to use frost resistant fabric or to transfer them to covered places when possible.In Opuntia species the temperature should not fall below 10 °C so it is advisable in the winter months if it is not possible to place them indoors, protected from the cold.

Lubrication:They do not require frequent lubrication. In general, once or twice a year is enough. Use a suitable water-soluble fertilizer for cacti.

Last tip-exhortation: Cacti usually suffer from rotting due to excessive watering, especially in autumn and winter.So pay attention to the substrate we use and the frequency of watering. We must always adapt to the prevailing circumstances.
