Know before you buy
This plant naturally enters a period of winter dormancy, during which it may shed its leaves. You can expect it to reliably re-sprout with new growth once spring arrives.
Euphorbia millotii requires bright, direct sunlight to maintain its health and vibrant leaf coloration. If keeping it indoors, place it in the brightest spot available, such as a south-facing window.
This plant prefers infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, as this succulent is highly drought-tolerant.
No, Euphorbia millotii is not pet-safe. Like many other Euphorbia species, it contains a milky sap that can be irritating if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin and eyes.
Ensure the pot has excellent drainage and use a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Because it is a slow-growing shrublet, it will be comfortable in its current container for quite some time.
Only if you live in a climate that stays above 30°F, such as USDA Zone 10. If you experience colder temperatures, you should bring the plant indoors during the winter months to protect it from frost.
