How to fertilize Madagascar Jewel
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 Madagascar Jewel after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hi there friends. My Madagascar jewel suddenly started acting up and i'm freaking out. This plant is really important to me since i got it from someone special. Do you know what the problem is? #MadagascarJewel

Why its leaves are turning yellow? Hello all, recent got Madagascar jewel from my senior 1.5 months ago. She had told me that she was away for week or something so she couldn't water the plant so its getting yellow. Now, I am watering the plant atleast one time a week as winter as set here and the plants are under plant light. Unfortunately, my jewel plant is loosing leaf a month by getting yellow. What I might be doing wrong?

Is my plant ok? I've been watering it about every other week but I've noticed some of the leaves have been yellowing. They eventually fall off after a couple of days. New leaves grow in their place or nearby. #happyplants

Are poinsettias really more than a holiday plant? #Euphorbia hello errbody! Are these plants more than just a holiday stunner? Is it possible to keep them as a houseplant for years? I know nothing about them other than the holiday time decoration. Is it worth repotting them to clay pots and trying to keep them for longer then the season?

My plants just grow straight up, one is taller than me. I have found pruning leaves a permanent scar. How do you get them to be more bushy? #Euphorbiabicompacta #Euphorbia

Place the plant in direct light and it will drop a bottom leaf as fast as a new one appears. Place it in filtered indirect light and it will quit losing leaves and will put out amazingly large leaves so quick that it seems it can hardly keep up with itself!
