Spurge Milli Helena, a succulent type plant, features a spiny woody trunk and bright green foliage. Magnificent clusters of white bell flowers appear from spring until late summer. To promote optimal growth, it requires well-drained potting soil and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Watering should be done when the soil is completely dry, and monthly fertilizing with a cactus fertilizer is recommended from spring to late summer. These euphorbias can be moved outdoors in the summer, but should be brought indoors for the winter. Prior acclimatization is essential to avoid sunburn.
