Can someone tell me what is happening to my Euphorbia?
A few months ago I acquired a cutting on holiday abroad. After a few weeks of callousing, I planted it in some soil. It took almost three months for the roots to appear and it took a month after this root-strike for new growth to appear. When I took the cutting I noticed some white stuff on the crown. I didn't think to much of it and thought it was just some dirt.
The Euphorbia has grown one centimeter since it is in my possession. But this new growth seems to be covered in some crackly white stuff. Also the new growth doesn't seem to be very healthy. It is only extending upwards with new growth. See my included photo. Does someone know what is happening overhere? I have no idea what I'm looking at to be honest. Could be anything, thanks!

Comments (1)We had a bad flood in our basement after a big rain fall. There was over 6 inches of water and our brand new floating floor had to be removed. We still don't understand what happened. We had someone come for an inspection and said it was groundwater. However, I took this video of the sewage drain pipe when there was another bad rainfall. Why does the water seem to moving into the house? I also have attached photos of where water seems to be coming up from cracks in the basement floor? We have been here for 2 years and never had a problem with flooding. We think it might have to do the excavation when replacing the main water valve from our house to the street. Any ideas of how the sewer access pipe and ground water flooding might be related? What should we do to prevent this in the future? Is a plumber the right person to call?

Comments (2)The white dots are salt deposits left behind when sap that makes its way to the leaf surface evaporates. ..... not sure what caused the brown, crusty patches on the epidermis. It could be any number of things: sunburn (photo-oxidation), something phytotoxic landing on the leaves (like hair spray or mist from a spray room deodorizer), air pollution (smokers in the house?), over-watering/oedema, a cleaning agent that might have been used to remove dust from leaves ....... Really - there's not enough info to make a meaningful diagnosis. Al...See MoreCan someone tell me what’s wrong with my palm?

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoIt has produced some new growth at the top and at the short stub at the right. It still doesn't look right to me. The new growth on the short stub also has a dark green/brown color. I've put the cutting in the shadow. What's wrong overhere? See photo.
@Peter, dry rot might be possible. I don't know really. Should I try some hydrogenperoxide?
Edit: I don't trust it at all. I've removed it from my collection and swabbed it with h2o2. Does someone have any pointers about how to progress from here? Can it be saved?
