Euphorbia White Ghost and Other Special Babies
Comments (7)Thanks guys :). Yes I was so excited to get the Euphorbia 'white ghost' its so beautiful its almost doesn't seem like a real plant, more like an alien maybe :P. Wow bamboo turtles five foot! They are super slow growing I'm told so imagine how old it is! The lady who sold mine to me said it must always stay inside as it is very sensitive to the sun. kaktuskris- I think there must be something they like about New Zealand because in summer they nearly grew before my eyes! I have photo's taken about every two weeks (I had a young baby who slept often then, now I have a toddler I have to keep them away from!) and I look back and am amazed at there growth! They have all but stopped now though, or so it seems. Where are you from? Newnie- no I didn't have a hundred and all germinated, but I have about 80 now! I brought the seeds in lots five with varying germination results. My husband would get a shock if I germinated 100 at one time, heehee. For those who haven't please check out my other post 'My babies (2nd try)' for more adenium pics :P....See MoreEuphorbia Lactea, dry tips and spots
Comments (9)Generally speaking, if you've got a funny patch on a succulent and it's hard, it's nothing fatal. What you've got is very likely just corking brought on by less-than-optimal conditions (I have a red-spined monstrose cactus that has a couple of those spots and a film of corking over much of the base. It's fine, though it's getting a lot more water next year). The plant as it is now will look pretty scabby once all the corked spots are done filling out, but big plants produce big growth and in a couple of years there'll be enough green to distract the eye. Corking is natural in many of these species that eventually grow into tree shapes (note that the majority of the patches are around the joints), but can be accelerated by hard conditions. What did those eggs look like, by the way? I'm wondering if they were actually something else....See MoreSome new Euphorbia's
Comments (6)Stush, I do not mind at all. I love everyone's plants and glad you did. New to the C & S forum. I grow Adeniums and some Pachypodiums. They take up so much of my efforts. Jamie's nursery is truly a work of Art. Always feel when I walk away, that I have not seen it all. Only an hour away, so not that far. Rick...See MoreEuphorbia lactea rot help :(
Comments (6)Very nice offer Stush I'm all set with green and would only hoard anything for years to come that' has ' white' in it's name Tip for the OP: Just as I would do treat a baby as a baby and/or treat an ailing plant as an ailing plant Meaning you may have to loose some optimal growing season this season if yours is to go outside . For the size it is & at this point as is and if to warm ( As mine do enjoy it very warm here) If mine I'd concider keeping it inside open windows during them hotter days of June and July & even parts of August I'm almost certain the higher warm temps would fry a plant that size rather quickly outside in the same warm sunning as a more established one. @ stush LOL Although yours are a nice viny length and leafy with nice coloring there is no way in heaven or hell would my photos get that sun spot at any time of year....See Morewestes Zone 9b California SF Bay
