Care tips

Plant ‘Black Pearl’ in a sunny spot for best growth. It can also tolerate light shade, but flowers more profusely in full sun. This Euphorbia likes well-drained, dry to moderately moist soil. Make sure the soil does not get too wet, as it is prone to root rot in excessively moist conditions. ‘Black Pearl’ is drought tolerant once well established. Water only during prolonged drought and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Euphorbia’s milky sap can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves when pruning and use caution when handling the plant.
