Horty Hints

Droppin' like it’s hot? During summer months, be sure to keep the soil of your African Milk Tree slightly moist as leaf drop can be an indication of stress due to drought.

If you're still seeing drop even after increased watering, don't sweat it! The leaves on these plants are short-lived and die off on a regular basis. This is natural and the plant will generate more from time-to-time.

Turn up that HEAT! The Euphorbia Trigona rubra prefers a warmer environment, ideally no lower than 15°C.
