greetings. I am hoping that you are a resource for information on the
care of the Euphorbia Amak, "Candelabra Plant". We have a cactus
that was named this name by Home depot when we bought it. It has
been inside the house during winters, however, it has grown to over
12 feet tall, and is needing a larger pot than can be accommodated
inside the house. SO, this coming winter, the plant will be
outside. We live in Sacramento California, where winters run from
about November to about February with temperatures in the low 40's at
night and high 40s to low 50's during the day. Rain is periodic, but
the last few years we have had spring months (March this year, April
last year) with rain almost every day. During those wet spring
times, temperatures run low fifties at night to high sixties by day.
During summer, temperatures average high 80's to low 100's by day and
mid 70's to high 70's at night.
How should we care for this cactus during the winter? Any special
care for it during high rain times? and during high heat times?
Thank you for any information you can offer, if you cannot offer
information, can you direct us to someone who can? Thanks. Kathryn.
