Sunlight

If you are going to be growing your Euphorbia Greenwayi indoors, choose an area with bright, indirect sunlight. They should not be directly exposed to sunlight all day because it can cause the leaves to burn and turn brown or yellowed.

Water

Euphorbia Greenwayi need to be watered once a week or when the soil starts to feel dry. If you are growing your plant inside, use room temperature or warm water because cold water can cause their tendrils to go into shock. Euphorbia Greenwayi need to be watered so that the soil is wet and not dry.

Soil

Euphorbia Greenwayi prefer to grow in well-drained soil and they do not do well in standing water. They can also grow in sandy, rocky and clay soils. To ensure good growth, give your plant a good potting mix with lots of organic matter.

You should use a cactus mix and make sure it drains well. Do not use potting soil. Euphorbias also need to be planted in clay pots, instead of plastic containers because the plastic may cause them to rot. Soil should be at least half an inch deep.

Temperature

Make sure the temperature is between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and between 55 and 60 degrees at night. Growing temperatures should not exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you are growing your plant outside, make sure they are protected from frost in winter or freeze conditions can occur when plants are exposed to freezing temperatures for a long period of time.

Humidity

While indoor growing, try not to make your Euphorbia Greenwayi too wet or too dry. It is best to keep the humidity between 50 and 70 percent. Keep the potting mix moist, but not soggy.

Feeding

Propagation

You can propagate your Euphorbia Greenwayi by stem cutting and seeds. Take a section of the plant and dip it in a rooting hormone and stick it into moist soil. Check the next day to make sure it has started sprouting.

When transplanting Euphorbia Greenwayi, allow for at least one week for new roots to develop before placing outdoors with appropriate care.

Repotting

Euphorbia Greenwayi need to be repotted every one to two years because they become root-bound. It is important not to disturb the roots when you are repotting. It is also a good idea to use a soil mixture for succulents, because regular soil can hold too much water.
