Euphorbia milli Best Feng Shui The Goodluck plant Beautiful Flowers all year round

 Euphorbia milli The Goodluck plant of Thailand, best feng shui goodluck plant,  has taken over our hearts due to its sturdiness and beautiful flowers that are seen all year round!  This is a very beautiful and attractive plant having green foliage and peach coloured flowers all year long. Gardens don't flourish just by singing songs to the plants, but yes, songs do helps, that's what I have experienced. "Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade. Rudyard Kipling.

The green leaves are elongated and cover the spikes/thorns. It has its own protective covering of bright green leaves which conceals the thorns well. This is a good choice for new gardeners as this does not require much care. It grows well in containers and spreads fast with more of branches(thorny) and looks like a bouquet of roses at a glance. 

During heavy rains it needs to be kept under protection otherwise it becomes very slushy and mushy and the stem rots killing the plant. Well it does not tolerate heavy downpour or excessive watering and it is advisable to keep the Euphorbia milli plant under part shade during all seasons. This plant also is a favourite home for butterflies to lay eggs due to the extensive green foliage. My plant had nearly more than fifty eggs and though I felt very bad in cleaning them but I had to save my plant. I have noticed the caterpillars have a voracious appetite and if neglected the plant may succumb to continuous feeding by them.

Since the Euphorbia milli is a cactus, it has stored water within. Water requirements are not much and can be watered on alternate days or when the upper layer of the mud seems dry. Compost may be added after few months to replenish the soil from lost nutrition due to watering.

Attractive and good feng shui plant for goodluck,  but only for those that are comfortable with thorny plants. Very powerful evil eye cure this plant provides strong protection from evil spirits and negative energies. In Feng Shui it is advisable to avoid plants having thorns in house but we cannot oversee the power of this plant attracting goodluck. In Chinese Japanese culture this plant is grown profusely at entrances to attract goodluck.  somehow it has made a place in my heart and my window sill garden with its attractive flowers and bright green leaves.

When growing in containers the Euphorbia milli plant,  we have to keep it trimmed and that is the only difficult part since cutting needs precautions due to the thick thorns. Keep them away from your walking areas and also protected from children and pets. Entrance gardens are best for this plant. Window also is good to place them. 

Why I love the Euphobia Milli? it comes in so many colours and requires very little care and flowers all year round! Plants give flowers in cream, white, yellow, pink, peach, red, orange. You can grow different coloured flower plants. Most commonly available is the peach colour flowered variety.

We must grow roses if we want to see roses! Gardening no doubt will require some effort but think of the returns you will get, not just making the air pure and fresh but you set an example for the future generations to be close to earth, soil, roots. We will not see beautiful gardens just with a click, we have to  work towards it, make it happen, keep the daily care to see the amazingness of Mother Earth and attract gaia blessings. Immense Joy!
