Watersaver Blackbird Euphorbia, 4.5" Pot
Light Requirements
Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Full sun promotes the deepest foliage color and strongest growth, while light afternoon shade can help in extremely hot climates.
Water Requirements
Extremely drought-tolerant once established. Water moderately during the growing season, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot.
Toxicity
Euphorbia sap can be irritating to skin and eyes. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and handle with care when pruning or propagating.
