How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water: Euphorbia trigona like to dry out between waterings. Dip your finger about an inch into the soil: if it's damp, you can wait on watering; if it's dry, you know it's time to water again
Pruning
If your plant gets too heavy, consider pruning off the arms (and propagating those clippings to make new plants).
Fertilizer
Fertilizer: Provide Euphorbia trigona with a light feeding of balanced water-soluble succulent fertilizer monthly during the spring and summer. Reduce watering and do not fertilize at all during the cooler months (fall and winter).
