Mine has grown strongly and flowered for the first time. However, the flowering stems are so heavy they are all starting to lie down. Am I correct in assuming that as the flowers die off, I should cut the stems right back? thanks in advance.

Maddy, do be careful when cutting the stems of Euphorbia as the milky sap is extremely irritating if it gets on the skin or in the eyes.
