Essential Care Tips for Thriving Plants
Light
Provide partial to full sun. Most plants thrive on direct UV exposure. Avoid placing behind window glass, as it filters out the essential UV rays needed for healthy growth.
Water
Follow the "Soak and Dry" principle. Ensure the top 2–3 cm of soil is bone dry before watering (use the finger test). Reduce frequency in winter, but do not stop watering entirely.
Temperature
The ideal range is 18–35 °C. Maintain temperatures above 5 °C during winter. Please note that temperatures below 0 °C pose a significant risk of plant death.
Humidity
Best kept at 30–50% humidity. Note: High air humidity is not a substitute for root watering. Avoid overly damp areas to prevent root rot or leggy side shoots.
Soil
A loose, well-draining medium is ideal. A mix containing 50–70% grit or mineral soil is recommended for aeration. Outdoor ground planting is also a viable option.
Fertilizer
Fertilize during repotting using Osmocote A2 slow-release fertilizer. Apply sparingly twice a year, or adjust the fertilizer type based on your specific home environment.
Start Your Green Journey in 4 Steps
Unbox & Inspect
Carefully unpack and inspect the plant’s body and roots. We recommend taking photos or videos immediately for your records. Place it in a shaded, well-ventilated spot for 1–2 days to acclimate to its new environment.
Potting & Placement
After 24 hours of rest, pot the plant using slightly moistened soil. Place it in a bright, airy location to encourage recovery. Keep away from AC vents or heaters to prevent damage from temperature fluctuations.
First Watering
Use water that has sat for at least 24 hours. If using the damp-potting method, wait 2–3 days before the first watering. Ensure a thorough soak until water drains freely from the bottom.
Daily Care
Monitor leaf condition and soil moisture daily. If the soil remains damp, increase ventilation rather than watering. Proper airflow is essential to prevent root rot and ensure lasting health.
Delivery was very fast! I received a very nice and healthy Euphorbia turbiniformis, grafted on a well-chosen E. neorubella rootstock. The graft is very stable (I have tried gently pressing the scion and it stays fully secure on the rootstock), and I think the choice of the caudex rootstock really brings out the natural beauty of the cute scion on top, as their colours look good together (compared to other E. turbuniformis in the market that are grafted on green rootstocks). The E. turbuniformis scion was also bigger than I expected, and it appears to be pushing out new side offshoots, so I am very pleased with the robustness of this plant. It continues to do well a month after arriving. Thank you for the excellent customer service and growing advice, and I look forward to shopping with you again!
Delivery was very fast! I received a very nice and healthy Euphorbia actinoclada with a strong root system. It was grown under very good conditions, so it has remained very compact such that the reduced main stem is so full of healthy branches that it is hard to see without peering behind the branches! The plant is also highly robust and actively growing new spines, not to mention, and also bigger than I was expecting, which I am very happy with. It is doing very well even 1 month after ordering. I am very pleased with my order! Thank you for the excellent customer service and growing advice, and I look forward to shopping with you again!
Delivery was very fast! I received a very nice and healthy Euphorbia schizacantha with a strong root system and mature enough to put out very pretty red flowers. The plant that I received was much bigger and more mature than I was expecting, which I am very happy with. The natural corking is also very beautiful and helps me appreciate the maturity of the plant. It is doing very well even 1 month after ordering. I am very pleased with my order! Thank you for the excellent customer service and growing advice, and I look forward to shopping with you again!
Delivery was very fast! I received a very nice and healthy Euphorbia brevirama with a strong root system and mature enough to put out cute little blooms, and is actively growing new branches. I am very pleased with my order! Thank you for the excellent customer service with my order too and I look forward to shopping with you again!
All the plants were in good condition, and the seeds were in good condition too.
I’m really glad it looks like we can do business together for a long time. Thank you.
