ðą How to Care for Indian Spurge Tree to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water deeply only once the top few inches of soil are completely dry, roughly every 2 weeks during the growing season and much less in winter. When in doubt, underwater. This succulent stores plenty of moisture in its stems.
âïļ Lighting
Give it full sun to bright indirect light. Indoors, a south-facing window is ideal; outdoors it tolerates direct sun even in hot climates.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Use a fast-draining, sandy cactus or succulent mix (roughly 50% sand or perlite) with a slightly acidic to neutral pH to prevent waterlogging around the roots.
