Euphorbia sap removal trick

Post by Shane »

First of all, avoid touching Euphorbia sap. It's thought by some to be toxic or a skin irritant (and definitely don't get it in your eyes)

With that out of the way, I've discovered cooking oil works well for removing Euphorbia sap. The general method is to smear oil on the sap to dissolve it, then wash the oil/sap solution off with soap
Los Angeles, California (USA)
Zone 10b (yearly minimum temperature 1-5° C)

Fishhook cacti are like cats, they only like to be petted in one direction
