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

Can someone please help me! My milk tree cactus is not doing good. It is not root rot. Idk if it’s the lighting or being spayed by gnat killer for indoor plants. #Euphorbia

Just repotted my guys. How long should I wait to water them? They have barely any roots. #Euphorbia

They’ve arrived 😍 Sorry for the terrible pics, but I will take better ones very soon! My white princess has a pink stripe 🥰 The only problems were my perle von Nurburg lost a leaf and looks thirsty (prop time) my Hoya had a bent stem which is already propped lol, this girl has 6 peduncles already 🥹 My begonia escargot is a little crispy on the edges. My euphorbia is perfect! My Melo has a brand new leaf ☺️ Welcome home my beautiful babies #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #NewPlants #PlantHaul #Philodendron #Begonia #Euphorbia #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #HoyaHangout

Is this leaf texture normal? Plant appears otherwise healthy (no stem rot, etc) #Euphorbia
