Position Euphorbia trigona in a bright sunny south-facing window. Euphorbia trigona need direct sunlight and moderate watering during their growing season. Allow the soil to dry out between each watering. Feed with a little bit of some liquid fertiliser during the growing season. Euphorbia are quite fast growing plants and will need to be transplanted to a bigger pot every other year use free draining compost mixed with sand and add pebbles to the bottom of the pot to ensure extra drainage.
