How to fertilize Broadleaf Spurge

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

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

This cutting has been in a pot since probably August. It wasn’t looking well so I took it out of the soil. There are no roots yet and the base is brown, thoughts? #Euphorbia

Plant ID help! Hi Greg Gang, I’m loving the process of discovery in the garden beds of this new rental. I was trimming the maidenhair ferns and discovered a couple of plants with tiny little pink blooms along with a mystery bulb. Could the bloomy plant be euphorbia milii? 🤔🤔🤔 #PlantID #plantidentification #mysteryplant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OtherPeoplesPlants #Euphorbia #Bulb

Pot type: I am moving my Noel from the plastic pot she came into a regular pot. It is recommended that I use a porous pot. I have a clay pot that is glazed on the outside. Is that good enough, or should I use terracotta? #Euphorbia
