How to fertilize Euphorbia heptagona

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Euphorbia heptagona after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Cactus Update 🪴🌵🏜️ This is spinster my ‘Euphorbia Spiralis’ (I think that’s the correct ID) Like other slow growing plants of mine, I never think they are growing until I compare pictures over time. I thought maybe I wasn’t caring for it correctly, or it wasn’t happy. But every couple months I would notice a brighter green shade at the top of the plant. I also watered and treated her today with #ArberBioFungicide & #ArberBioInsecticide 😊🌱🧪 Here are the dates for the pics. 1- August 21 2- August 31 3- September 11 4- December 18 #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #GrowLights #BeforeAndAfter #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Losing her…help please!!! Just moved her to direct SE window she was about 3 feet away before. Soil is still very moist from last watering. Thinking I should repot her and get the wet soil out of her roots. #Euphorbia

Poinsettia Rescue My husband brought this Poinsettia home from his office. It was headed for the trash and he intercepted it. @StarryKentia I've got me one and will do my best to keep it alive. I don't have a very good track record! Regardless I'm up for a challenge! However, I'm getting conflicting care instruction. One says direct sunlight the other says direct sunlight will burn its leaves? Which is it? 🙏💚😊 #poinsettia #rescueplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #euphorbia
