Growing Euphorbia Antisyphilitica 'Candelilla'

• Plant Euphorbia antisyphilitica 'Candelilla' in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
• Water the plant sparingly, as it is extremely drought-tolerant; allow the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions to prevent overwatering and root rot.
• Use well-draining soil, such as sandy or rocky soil, to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root development.
• Euphorbia antisyphilitica 'Candelilla' is hardy in USDA zones 8-11 and thrives in warm, arid climates, making it suitable for xeriscaping and desert gardens.
• Prune the plant minimally, as needed, to remove any dead or damaged stems and maintain its upright, clumping form.
