Milk Tree care

In cold weather, the plant stops its development and enters a dormant, resting period. In summer, since it loves heat and sun, its sun needs must be met during the day, especially if it is kept indoors. The sun has a great effect on the development of the plant. Pots of appropriate size and depth for the size of the plant should be preferred. The plant should be gradually enlarged in the pot as it grows. Care should be taken to have more than one air hole at the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, if drainage is not provided, unfortunately the plant roots will rot and may cause plant death. The milk tree should be watered as the soil dries in the summer. In winter, since the need for watering will be less, you can extend the watering period a little longer.
