How to grow Euphorbia obesa so that it blooms

Flowering time of Euphorbia pulcherrima

The Euphorbia obesa usually blooms around April to June every year. Its flowering period is relatively short, with a single flower only open for about 2-5 days. Therefore, when caring for it, it needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light to allow it to photosynthesize, which is more conducive to flowering.

How to cultivate and bloom the Euphorbia paniculata

1. Potting soil : If you want the Euphorbia obesa to bloom, you need appropriate potting soil. The soil used should be loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. In addition, you should repot it every 1-2 years during maintenance. This way, there will be sufficient nutrients for growth and flowering.

2. Fertilizer : The demand for fertilizer of Euphorbia obesa is relatively high, especially during the growth period. Adequate nutrients can make its leaves grow thicker and there will be more flower buds. When it blooms, it can reach the effect of bursting the pot, so be sure to supplement fertilizer before flowering.

3. Pruning : During the bud formation period of Euphorbia obesa, the newly grown side buds on the stems need to be cut off, and some excess flower buds at the base also need to be cut off. This can reduce nutrient consumption and concentrate the nutrient supply, so that it can bloom continuously during the flowering period.

4. Light : Euphorbia milii prefers a growing environment with sufficient light, so it can be placed outside in a sunny place for maintenance in spring and autumn. In summer, it needs appropriate shade to avoid direct sunlight, and there must be a good ventilation environment.
