Sowing Instructions:

  Days to Germination: 10-14 days at 18-24°C.
• Germination: Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Cover with a light layer of vermiculite. Maintain a temperature of 15-18°C. Germination can take 2 weeks to several months. If slow, cold stratify at 4°C for 3 months before returning to warmth. Needs high moisture level in germination stage.
  
• Direct Sowing: For outdoor sowing, plant after the last frost or in autumn for natural cold/warm stratification. For a continuous bloom, sow 3-4 times, 2 weeks apart.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough, transplant into 8 cm pots and acclimatize before planting outside with 50 cm spacing.

Growing Requirements:

• Sun: Full sun exposure.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but tolerates average and poor soils.
• Watering: Keep moist during germination and transplant stages. Once established, Euphorbia marginata is drought-tolerant.
