Water: Euphorbia poissonii exhibits high drought tolerance, thriving in arid conditions. In cultivation, water euphorbia poissonii every three weeks, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Its succulent traits enable efficient water storage, making it ideal for xeric landscapes with infrequent rainfall.

Fertilize: Euphorbia poissonii requires minimal fertilizer for growth, thriving even in poor, well-drained soils. Fertilize only when lower leaves show yellowing due to nutrient deficiency, using half-strength liquid fertilizer to nourish the plant for several months.

Propagation: Euphorbia poissonii is primarily propagated through cuttings, as seeds are hard to germinate and have a short viability. Wear gloves and clean tools when handling cuttings, which should be dried for 2-3 days before planting in a soilless medium. Regular misting and moisture control are essential for successful rooting.
