Euphorbia aggregata

Native to dry regions, Euphorbia aggregata performs best in full sun — its natural habitat has strong sunlight and very little shade. It can also tolerate partial sun, providing some flexibility in its growth.

While Euphorbia aggregata can endure some heat, it mainly does well and grows during the cooler seasons and becomes dormant in summer. In very hot summer conditions, give it shade to avoid scorching from intense sunlight. Watering should be cut back or stopped during the hottest season to prevent root rot. Winter and spring are when Euphorbia aggregata grows vigorously. As long as temperatures do not fall too low, it will continue to grow steadily.

For Euphorbia aggregata, applying fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season is sufficient. Do not fertilize in winter or in summer when the plant is dormant. Cut back on fertilizer for plants that have been repotted and wait a couple of months after repotting before you fertilize. Fertilizing helps maintain healthy growth and promotes flowering.
