Euphorbia Meloformis Etiolated Growth

Post by mikethecactusguy »

Hi All. Help with this one. A collection of both Obesa and Meloformis. They all get shaded and direct sun all day. They all get watered when dry. They all get fertilized occasionally with 25% of recommended strength. So what is happening with the Meloformis. Too much water?
Thanks

Try to suppress growth for this species when the light is insufficient (winter time) by keeping it fully dry. Or use less % shading for these plants?
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8

Hey 7george
They get either shaded or full sun all day. I'm watering them along with all the other plants. I did read somewhere to water this species sparingly. i don't normally follow watering norms since my climate here in Indio is so different than most.

They look unhappy living in a shade. Give them direct sun and changes will happen very soon. Euphorbias are very hardy according to insolation.
