My Rewards
English name:
Madagascar JewelLatin name:
Euphorbia LeuconeuraAbout me:
I have attractive, dark green foliage, with white veins when young. These will fade a little as I age but by that point I'll be so impressively bushy you won't mind at all!Useful to know:
Origin
I'm from Madagascar of course!
Height/Growth
I can grow up to 1.8 metre in height!
Light
I prefer lightly shaded to part sunny places with some morning sun, evening sun and winter sun. Direct sunlight can cause my leaves to burn.
Water
Water me once a week during the growing season. In winter, water once or twice a month.
Temperature
I don’t like the temperature around me to be less than 15 °C.
Feeding
Succulent-specific plant food is ideal for me, but diluted all-purpose plant food will do nicely too.
Grooming
As my flowers fade, remove them and I'll redirect my energy elsewhere.
Care
I'm a very easy plant to care for, as I'm technically a succulent.
Toxicity
I am a toxic plant, not to touch, but if my leaves or stems are damaged the sap can be an irritant. Keep me away from pets and children.
Fact
For propagation I shoot my seeds several feet into the air! Be aware the seeds may land in nearby potted plants and begin to grow; they are easily removed and can be transplanted.
