Care Guide:
1. Light: Euphorbia Lactea Variegated thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place your plant near a window where it can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

2. Water: Water your Euphorbia Lactea Variegated sparingly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix for your Euphorbia Lactea Variegated to prevent water from sitting around the roots.

4. Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 18-29°C and should be protected from frost in colder climates.

5. Fertiliser: Feed your Euphorbia Lactea Variegated with a diluted, balanced fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).

6. Pruning: Use caution when handling Euphorbia Lactea Variegated as the milky sap it produces can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and use sharp, clean tools when pruning.

7. Pests: Keep an eye out for common pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any pests, gently wipe them away with a damp cloth or treat with neem oil.
