How to Take Care of Euphorbia Tirucalli

Plant Euphorbia tirucalli in a succulent potting soil mix, in a pot large enough to accommodate the roots. There should be a 1-inch gap between the sides of the pot and the roots.

Display the Euphorbia tirucalli in a window that receives six to eight hours of bright, filtered sunlight. Direct sunlight coming through a window can burn the foliage, so choose a window that has a curtain or lightweight shade to filter the sun.

Water Euphorbia tirucalli whenever the top layer of soil begins to dry out. Deep watering -- allowing the water to flow through the soil and out through the drainage holes -- once every three to four weeks should suffice.

Maintain average temperatures between 65 degrees Fahrenheit and 70 at all times throughout the day. Euphorbia tirucalli plants tolerate evening temperatures as low as 60 degrees.

Feed the Euphorbia tirucalli a diet of water-soluble fertilizer specifically designed for cactus and succulents. Follow the label instructions regarding frequency and dosage.

Transplant the Euphorbia tirucalli into a larger pot when you notice the roots growing out of the bottom of the pot or when the soil dries out quicker than normal. Move it to a pot one size larger.
