Euphorbia grantii (approximately 2 ft tall) in 6” pot

The Euphorbia grantii displays veined oval-shaped leaves that range from deep green to reddish-burgundy, depending on the amount of light it receives. This plant grows as a compact, shrub-like succulent with a slow to moderate growth rate, which makes it manageable as a houseplant. You may observe yellow-green flowers at the tips of its branches. The flowers are not as prominent as the foliage but add an extra dimension of interest.

CARE:

• This plant prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. The more light it receives, the richer its reddish colour will be. However, avoid intense midday sun during the peak summer months, which can scorch the leaves. A few hours of direct light in the morning or late afternoon can be beneficial.
•  Sensitive to cold so keep away from drafty windows, and airconditioning vents.
• Allow the soil to nearly dry out (about 80 percent) before watering.
• Do not keep the soil soggy as this can lead to root rot.
• Occasion pruning can encourage bushier growth and maintain its shape. Remove any yellowing or sparse leaves for a lush and tidy appearance.
• This plant does well in drier environments.
