How to keep Euphorbia Clementei.
Light
Euphorbia squamigera is naturally found in habitats like forest understories and rocky sites, where it occurs in natural shade. It favors partial sun but can tolerate both full sun and deep shade, demonstrating its versatility and hardiness.
Temperature
Euphorbia squamigera comes from tropical areas where the climate is typically warm and humid. Consequently, it is adapted to high temperatures and humidity. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a stable thermal environment, so indoor temperature fluctuations should be avoided. It generally cannot withstand cold and needs higher temperatures to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
