Plant Care Instructions:
- Light: Euphorbia Pulcherrima Yellow Star thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but should be protected from intense midday sun to prevent bract discoloration.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. During winter, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows.
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil. A mix of garden soil, compost, and perlite ensures good drainage and prevents root rot.
- Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to support vibrant foliage and bract color. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive leaf growth.
- Pruning: Prune after the blooming season to maintain the plant’s shape and remove any spent bracts or flowers. Pruning encourages bushier growth and keeps the plant looking tidy.
Common Problems and Solutions:
- Bract Drop: If the yellow bracts start to drop, it may be due to environmental stress such as sudden changes in temperature or light conditions. Ensure consistent care and avoid abrupt changes.
- Pest Infestations: Euphorbia Pulcherrima Yellow Star can attract pests like aphids and spider mites. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Root Rot: Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil has good drainage and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. If root rot occurs, trim affected roots and repot the plant in fresh soil.
