Euphorbia 'Pineapple Head' (NOT FOR WA)

"Pineapple Head"

This Japanese cultivar produces tight compact stems with short green leaves and will eventually form a tight cluster to 12cm tall. Slow growing but very hardy being able to survive well in most climates.

Position - full sun or partial shade. Great in gardens, borders, rockeries or pots. Indoors only in well-lit positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.

Watering -can be watered over the warmer months and seldom if not at all in winter. Plants will survive without water for many months but will do better if watered all year.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser the better the shape of the plant.

Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted at in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.

Caution - harmful if eaten. Skin & eye irritant. Handle carefully to avoid exposure to white milk from damaged plants. Wash hands after handling.
