☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Euphorbia Cristata Mermaid Cactus thrives in medium light conditions. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct exposure, especially during harsh midday sun, can cause sunburn to its delicate tissues.
? Water
?▫️▫️ (Low)
This plant is quite drought-tolerant, needing only minimal watering. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of too dry rather than too wet.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Euphorbia Cristata Mermaid Cactus enjoys average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate a slight dip in temperature but should be protected from anything drastic, particularly frost.
? Humidity
?▫️▫️ (Low)
Low humidity levels are adequate for this succulent, mimicking its natural arid environment. No need to mist or provide extra humidity, making it ideal for typical home environments.
? Repotting
Repotting is seldom necessary as this plant prefers to be in a snug pot. If you do repot, choose a container only slightly larger than the current one. Ensure the new pot has good drainage and use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
? Pet Friendliness
Be cautious as the sap of Euphorbia plants can be toxic if ingested and irritating to the skin. It’s best to keep this plant out of reach of pets and children.
? Recommended Locations at Home
Place your Mermaid Cactus in a spot with bright, indirect light such as near east or south-facing windows. It’s a great addition to desks, shelves, or as a striking centerpiece on dining tables. Avoid placing it in low-light corners or directly against cold window panes during winter.
? Air Purifying
This plant is not specifically known for air purifying properties, but like most plants, it contributes to a reduction in airborne dust and increasing oxygen levels.
