Euphorbia ecklonii is a winter grower and during the summer months the plants lose their leaves leaving only the tubers underground.
It likes pots with generous drain holes, needs a very airy potting medium which mainly consists of non organic material such us clay, pumice, lava grit, and only a little peat or leaf-mould, seeing that the main trunk is planted with the majority of the roots below the caudex line.
