Rooting Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost'
Comments (8)My local nursery uses it a lot in their made-up containers and baskets. It looks like it fills in really nicely. I saw some of their containers when I went back in July last year, and it seemed to be holding up well. But those were greenhouse conditions; kind of steamy but no direct sun. I wanted to buy some myself, but they were charging $4 for one little 3" pot. That seemed like a lot for something that IS so wispy! I'd rather have in in something smaller, anyway, like a 6 pack. I wonder if it is that pricey all over....See MoreEuphorbia Diamond Frost volunteers anyone?
Comments (3)Well, I've left my little patch alone to see if it blooms like DF. If not, I'm probably breathlessly awaiting the development of a weed ;D Imagine it could be overwintered if handled right (I don't have enough natural light and no space for a grow light). If it is DF volunteers, I'll have a nice big patch and will take a picture to show you. I love it too! I only had two or three planted there because of the price, but it was enough to fill in the space and looked so good!...See MoreOver wintering Diamond Frost Euphorbia indoors
Comments (7)grandmamaloy: I'm not sure about trimming them since I haven't tried it before, but I might try to overwinter two pots to see if I can trim them or not and how that affects it. I'm just afraid they'll get too large by Spring, but then again if their in a cooler house with less light and water maybe that will help contain them. I started out with 3 little 4" pots and they are spilling out of my whiskey barrel! Hopefully it will work, but if not I've only lost $10-12 in purchasing the parent plants. Might as well try :) Thanks for the tips! 715rose: I've heard that they only grow in water, but maybe they grow in soil for you since they're in a greenhouse? I might try using some rooting hormone that I'm picking up this week and see if that helps. Where do you clip the cuttings and how far/where on the cuttings do you plant them? Any other tips you could share that work for you would be awesome! ken_adrian: I did know it's registered, but I'm only using it for my own personal use in my household, not making any profit. I'm pretty sure no one will knock on my door :) Thanks for the info just in case! mnwsgal: Did you not have very good success or just didn't think it was worth it for you? Thanks to everyone for their advice!...See Morecutting Euphorbia Diamond Frost
Comments (1)paveggie: The only euphorbia I have planted was Snow on the Mountain.(Johnny Seed Company) It was suppose to get about 35" It only grew to about 25". I will definitely try it again, It did make a good filler. Heidi...See Moreechinaceamaniac
