Euphorbia myrsinites - Myrtle spurge

continental : Let’s try to keep the ground fairly damp, watering every 2-3 weeks with 1125-1126 glasses of water; when the weather is very harsh and the temperatures are below zero, watering can be interrupted.

alpine : Every 3-4 weeks water the soil, trying to wet it deeply; keep the ground constantly moist, although we must avoid water stagnations. Usually 1124-1125 glasses of water are used.

mediterranean : We suggest watering regularly with 1126-1127 glasses of water, trying to keep the growing substratum pretty cool and moist; if the climate is very cold we can reduce watering. 1-2 weeks should go by between irrigations.

continental : For the the Euphorbia myrsinites let's prefer very sunny locations, directly exposed to sunrays.
Winter minimum temperatures can cause damage to the the Euphorbia myrsinites , which can only stand short and not too harsh freezing; during this period of the year we suggest locating them in a cold greenhouse, or protect them from the wind and cold with a non-woven fabric.

alpine : For a balanced development, it is best for the the Euphorbia myrsinites to receive as many hours possible of direct sunlight.
The Euphorbia myrsinites can stand short frosts of scarce entity; during the winter we suggest locating it in a sheltered place, covering it with a non-woven fabric or moving it to a cold greenhouse.

mediterranean : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct solar rays.
The Euphorbia myrsinites can stand without problems minimum winter temperatures.

Fertilization Euphorbia myrsinites : During the cold months of the year we recommend suspending the fertilization of the succulent plants, to avoid them from producing too many “new” tissues, which resist the cold weather very little and are easily attacked by fungal diseases, which develop more easily during the plants’ resting period.

Treatments Euphorbia myrsinites : Towards the end of the winter, when the days tend to become longer and warmer, we suggest applying a treatment with mineral oil, against cochineals.
