Radium-plant is a compact euphorbia that tolerates a wide range of conditions from full sun to part shade, making it very adaptable in garden borders or containers. Water moderately and allow the soil surface to dry slightly between sessions, as it dislikes waterlogged roots. Handle with care, as its milky white sap is a skin and eye irritant.
