Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’ – wie überwintern?

Optimale Bedingungen für das Überwintern von Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’

Damit die Pflanze keine Frostschäden bekommt, sollte sie möglichst schon vor den ersten Nachtfrösten im Spätherbst in das geschützte Winterquartier gebracht werden. Die folgenden Standortfaktoren und Pflegemaßnahmen begünstigen das Überleben der Pflanze:

  • möglichst viel Tageslicht, jedoch ohne direkte Sonneneinstrahlung
  • Room temperatures between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius
  • no drafts
  • no drying out of the soil in the pot

The magic snow can also be overwintered at normal room temperature, but then it needs a little more moisture than in the cooler winter quarters. Before moving to the winter quarters, the plant can be pruned with gloves.

Weighing up costs and benefits

Overwintered specimens generally flower a little later than freshly grown young plants. In addition, this plant loses its compact and very flower-rich habit with increasing age. As with so many other balcony flowers, you should also weigh up the relationship between the effort of wintering and the saving of purchasing new young plants.

Tips

Even if the so-called magic snow (Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost') has no visual resemblance to the triangular spurge, both types of plants belong to the spurge family. You should therefore be careful with maintenance measures such as cutting, because the milky sap can cause problems just by touching the skin.
