propagating Euphorbia trigona
Comments (3)Sorry to hear about your trigona's roots... The good news is that they do propogate easily. If you've taken some cuttings, just set them aside unpotted until about mid-April. It won't hurt them - well, I'll qualify that... A healthy cutting can sit out for 6 months and still root. I've taken cuttings in fall, which is a bad time to try to root any Euphorbia, and set them aside until spring and had them root nicely. I'd say you have a pretty good chance of restarting your plant. Denise in Omaha...See MoreEuphorbia Trigona cutting question
Comments (1)Just a guess here: Each spring I top dress all of my pots with fresh soil and ammendments (bone meal, worm castings, etc). I suppose this would be called "laying on new potting soil". HTH - Jo...See Moreeuphorbia trigona (red)
Comments (19)I've heard alot of people who have the same problem with this plant, "I put it in the sun and it died!" I live in sun-drenched Tennessee, and have one sitting in the back yard getting at least eight hours of sun each day. It looks great, full-leafed, and deep green. See, there is a secret to getting this plant to like sun, start it small. If you take a well-rooted indoor plant and put it outside, it won't do well. It just can't make the transition easily. But, if you start a SMALL cutting and move it outside into a partly shaded area, and gradually move it into full sun, it will soon become a sun-worshiper. Remember, this plant comes from the African plains, so full sun is normal for it. It just takes some coaxing to get it to give up the comforts of central heat/air!...See MoreEuphorbia Trigona ‘Rubra’ playing a trick on me or..?
Comments (6)Be happy. All is well. Can't remember how old mine is but it's getting to 4 feet and many arms so I hope it stops soon. When I got it. Just about 4 inches of a cutting. Picture is dated so this is 2014. Getting taller. Got to get an updated picture to show how much it has grown....See MoreStefan
