Euphorbia capitulata - Poinsettia

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
When thesummer begins we can move the the Euphorbia capitulata outside.

alpine : Let's grow the the Euphorbia capitulata in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
These plants aren't rustic, they can't stand minimum temperatures below 15°C; during the summer season they can be located outdoors, but somewhere sheltered by the wind.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
These plants can be grown outdoors only during the hot season, because they can’t stand temperatures below 15° C.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 0-1 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Euphorbia capitulata should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 14 litres of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 1-2 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 16 litres of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-0 weeks.

Feed Euphorbia capitulata : Every 15-20 days let’s add a fertilizer for green plants or flowering plants to our irrigating water.

Adversity Euphorbia capitulata : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
