    Descriptif de la plante

    Le mot de Rayon de Serre

    The Euphorbia leuconeura is a perfect indoor succulent, decorative and easy to live with!

    This Madagascar jewel is indeed particularly graphic. In its youth, its leaves are beautifully veined with white, with a zone of attachment to its amusingly square stem that takes on red hues when the light is abundant. As the plant matures, the veins take on beautiful greener tones. From its second year, our Euphorbia leuconeura produces abundant little white flowers in the axils of its leaves, which form capsules containing numerous seeds.

    Madagascar jewel  is self-fertile, so watch out for its seed capsules! They eventually explode, and the seeds are thrown into the air, with the firm intention of germinating in any surrounding substrate! To control reproduction, harvest the capsules before they reach full maturity..

    This succulent plant is easy to grow, it easily supports all types of cultivation and only requires warmth.

    The Euphorbia leuconeura is threatened with extinction due to the destruction of its habitat, the Malagasy forests, so get involved in its conservation!

    Growing tips

    Repotting

    Repotting

    When you receive your plant, repot it in a pot slightly larger than the bucket, which must be well pierced. Avoid pot covers which prevent residual water from draining away and encourage fungal diseases. Choose a fine potting soil, ideally with added perlite or sand to lighten the substrate (do not use garden soil or acidic soil such as heather). Then plan two repottings per year (spring and autumn), gradually increasing the size of the pot and adapting it to the size of the root network (the roots must have room, but not too much as the plant must be able to dry out its substrate between waterings). This avoids having to add fertilizer, which always risks burning the fragile roots of the plants and making the plant wither as soon as the fertilizer is stopped.

    Watering

    Watering

    Moderate watering: watering should be copious (the whole root ball should be wet), but wait until the substrate has dried deeply before watering again (you can stick your finger in the soil: as long as you feel moisture, do not water). Your plant will recover better from a lack of water than from an excess of water. Always water at the base of the plant, and do not mist it, because stagnant water in the armpit of the leaves favors cryptogamic diseases. If your atmosphere is too dry, put bowls of water nearby (above radiators for example), so that evaporation humidifies the air.

    For an indoor planting

    For an indoor planting

    Your plant is best taken out in summer, full sun is perfect for it. It should be brought indoors in winter, and ideally placed in a warm and luminous place, like in a veranda or behind a window. It fears excessive humidity when temperatures are low, so avoid cold rooms. Attention: do not take it out and bring it in all the time, it should be taken out in good weather, then brought in when the cold weather arrives, because plants adapt their foliage to their environment, which should not constantly change. It often happens that plants lose their foliage when they are taken out and/or put in, don't worry, your plant will adapt and will emit its new foliage accordingly.

    For an outdoor planting

    For an outdoor planting

    This plant is not frost and/or cold resistant and should not be planted outside except in limited parts of Southern Europe.

    Pruning

    Pruning

    This plant supports the pruning, but we do not advise it because that would make it lose its native form.

    In case of pest attack

    In case of pest attack

    If your plants are under attack by aphids or other pests, the best way to control them is by hand. Change their soil, remove as many undesirables as possible by hand and then shower your plants with a strong stream of water to eliminate any eggs that may be present. Spray them (insist on the underside of the leaves) with liquid black soap diluted in water. Repeat the operation several times at a few days interval. Take them outside in good weather, rain, sun and wind will kill most of the aggressors!
