How to fertilize Euphorbia Ingens

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 Ingens after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

There is a big, hard, white spot on the trunk of my Euphorbia. It’s been there for a couple of years but as I’m pruning and getting ready to repot, I wonder if I need to do something about it. #Euphorbia
