Hydrangeas need consistent moisture and shade, which directly contrasts the arid conditions and full sun requirements of Euphorbia resinifera.
Mealybugs are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on plant sap. They can cause distorted growth and leave a sticky residue on the leaves. Infested plants may also exhibit sooty mold growth from honeydew, a sticky substance excreted by the insects.
Spider mites are tiny, arachnid pests that suck the sap from plant leaves. They may cause stippling or webbing on the leaves, eventually leading to leaf drop if left unchecked.
Scale insects are small, immobile insects that can be difficult to detect. They feed on sap and, if not controlled, can cause significant damage to plants.
Steps:
- Take a healthy cutting from a mature plant, about 4-6 inches long.
- Remove any lower leaves from the cutting, leaving only a few at the top.
- Dip the cut end in rooting hormone (optional, but recommended).
- Plant the cutting in well-draining potting mix.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Maintain a warm temperature (around 70-75°F) and high humidity.
