You need to use a cactus mix so that it drains well. The only kind I have available to me is Miracle Gro Cactus Mix. I take that mix and add crushed granite and or perlite to it. Use a 2:1 or even a 1:1 ratio. You won’t go wrong.
If you are having a problem finding crushed granite, check stores like Tractor Supply. It’s actually Chicken Grit. You feed it yo your chickens, just make sure it’s 100% no additives. If you’re just using it for drainage, use perlite if you can’t find crushed granite.
I have followed your advise, and it seems to work. The plants look so much more beautiful. Happened to run across a sale today and could not resist to buy some more. Will try to make an arrangement with 3 plants in.one planter. Thank you.
They grafted it probably because the top doesn't produce enough chlorophyll to sustain its self on a long term basis. They do the same thing with the brightly colored moon cactus. I agree with you, aesthetically, it looks much better without the stalk but you may have greatly reduced the life expectancy of your plant by removing it from the stalk
Fart Warrior no that’s only for variegated forms they cut a small coral cactus off and put it on a fast growing cactus so it grows faster or it’s for aesthetic purposes
You can cut it anywhere from bottom to top of the cactus and dry and let it callus over for 2 to 3 weeks and plant it. You can definitely cut away the stock totally (Unless it's amoon cactus i.e without chlorophyll). Yours doesn't looks like a moon cactus but confirm it with your garden before cutting off the stock. Good luck
I may be in the minority but aesthetically I actually prefer it grafted. That way it looks like a little tree -- like a bonsai. I love a lot of succulents grown this way, including Cotyledons and Aeoniums. At any rate, I wanted to let you know what I've read -- and that is for the lighter varieties, the ones with crests that are mostly white/light yellow, the grafting upon green cacti enables the Euphorbia Lactea to grow better, since the lighter varieties on their own lack the chlorophyll necessary for much photosynthesis. Since yours appears to be a predominantly green crested Euphorbia, I don't think that is a concern. It can be grown either way -- grafted or on its own.
Pat NY thank you for watching and commenting and I completely understand. I used to cut the heads off of a succulent when I saw the first signs of legginess. Now I just let them grow, change their environment and let them get as big as they can.
I’m so glad I found your video. I was wondering why in the world “they” take a perfectly beautiful and extravagant plant and graft it onto a plain straight pole of a plant. I sure would love to know more about this topic. Thanks for your video.
Dori you’re like me, I think they’re ugly, stuck up on a pole. They graft it on to a hardier root stock. Mine has done great with just the little but that’s left on it.
I have one of these that is still grafted to a tall cactus. I was told when I bought it that it was part of the moon cactus family and that it would only live while grafted and not on it own....keep us informed on how yours does.....then I might do mine!
HI Nana, I wasn't sure if I had replied to you, but yes, I will keep you informed! Mine still has a little bit of the graft left on it but now you can barely see it. So far so good with it, it hasn't died on me lol.
I think the first thing you need to know is that Euphorbia is not a cactus. I would have emptied the pot and placed the cutting in as deep as needed and then filled the pot pressing it down repeatedly until firmly planted.
I think that even regular euphorbia is difficult to root. The variegated ones are even harder to root but they also have another aspect to consider. They cannot photosynthesise as well as the non-variegated. Now the third factor which makes these crested plants hard to root on their own is that they have a much larger tissue mass than the regular ones so they hold more moisture making them prone to rooting. Combining all three of these factors into one cutting makes it so unlikely to survive the trip from the nursery to your house that if they don't graft it onto a root stock that will root easily and also has the ability to make use of the sunlight is an absolute necessity.
I just found this video and it's my last ditch effort to save the one I have. I dropped mine and it's slowly dying. I'm hoping I can save it with this technique.
The plant at the top cannot produce chlorophyll to survive, the bottom plant does which is why they graft them together. Did this survive out of curiosity?
You did not remove the graft; just shortened the stem of the root stock so it is not visible. Reason for grapting: 1. gives the top plant stronger root system 2. The stem provides chlorophyll to the top part If it is not green. My crest is white and pink, thus needs a longer green stem and tolerates less sun.
Wow! This video is just what I was looking for my newly purchased Coral Cactus from Lowes too. I want to keep it in the grafted form because I find it more interesting. Your video is very helpful for future care of this Franken-plant and I will perhaps in the future if I purchase another, on sale would be the best of course. Thanks again!
Mine has grown a lot taking it off the graft. I"m glad you had good luck taking yours off. I know it scares people to take it off the graft. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Oh, yes those glued rocks are not good. You can soak your whole pot in a bucket of water to loosen them, then repot the whole plant. Nurseries do that to keep soil and rocks from falling out of the pot during shipping. It’s best to remove all of that, in my opinion.
I just brought mine home from Lowe's. Is there a reason that the gravel round the base of the plant is stuck/glued together? How will I know when the plant needs water without touching the soil? Your answer will determine if I keep the plant 'as is' or whack it off at the base and replant. I'm fascinated with how it was graphed.
I hate those rocks and no you can't tell if it needs watering because of them. The growers do that for shipping, it's a special glue so the rocks don't fall out in shipping. You can put the whole thing down in your sink and fill with water and soak the glue off. Remove the rocks if you want check out the roots, whatever, then add them back. I love mine now that I have it. I walked by those ugly heads on a stick so many times and wouldn't buy one. Now that I took it off the graft, I love it! Good luck with yours, hope this helped!
How was your euphoria lactea cristata after you cut it off the stock. I just bought one and I am wanting to cut it off the stock. Please let me know as I am picking it up on Monday. Thanks from Japan
Is it to late to decaptiate my plant from its graft? Or should I wait until next year during February, which is when you cut yours? I have it indoors and not sure if it grows much.
How often have you been watering it since you repotted it? I have one that’s still in the pot it came in, I’m wanting to do exactly what you did in this video. I know very little about the plant itself. I only recently found out what’s it’s called. My husband brought it home for me 😅
Vanessa Bashor I have watered it very little, maybe a 1/4 cup a month while in the House. Until it has roots it will not take up water. So it doesn’t need it until it has roots. While outside, II drench it, let it drain and then don’t water again for maybe a month. If it starts shriveling, water. Thanks for watching, hope this helps!
Mine is still on the original stem grafted. What I'd like to know is, mine has developed a baby on it's right side of the coral, which is not very pretty since it is lime green on my original whitish coral head. Does anyone know if it will eventually turn whitish like the mother plant and can this be removed and planted to start a new one
I picked up one of these from Lowe’s as well. It came in the same pot but red. I hated it looked like Christmas so I took it out and repotted it into a grey terra-cotta and when I took it out it was sitting in about 2 inches of water 😳. Mine was on clearance for $5 and I now want to re pot it farther down so it doesn’t look like a broccoli tree
Broccoli tree is a good description! It needs to be in a pot with drainage. I'm surprised it's not rotted if it has been sitting in 2" of water. Does it have the rocks on top of the soil? You can place the whole pot down in water and soak the rocks off. Let it all drain and repot in fresh soil, dry, well draining, soil. I left about an inch of the graft on mine. Once you cut it, let it callous for about 2 weeks before repotting.

Omg what a fast response! I took it out of the original pot after being able to break up the little glued pebbles. I put it in a terra cotta pot but the stem graft is sticking out about 3 1/2 - 4 inches and I think it would look better close down to the soil. I let it dry out quite a bit and it seems to be doing fine. I’ve had it about a month now. I’m sad about the other ones at Lowe’s Becuase I’m sure they are all just in water like mine was but you can’t tell how moist the soil is on them because of the glued rocks on top
I hate the glued rocks just for that reason. I understand that it helps them keep in soil in shipment. You can see what I did with mine. Watch the other video I have on this plant and see how mine has put on growth. Thanks for watching!
Hi Cindy, where is the shoot coming from? From the graft at the bottom or somewhere on the lactea part? I would say that no, you can't. I would think it wouldn't be the euphorbia lactea but maybe a shoot from the cactus it's grafted onto. Just my opinion. Euphorbia lacteas are difficult to grow on their own roots, that's why they are grafted onto another cactus. mine has done well with a big portion of the graft cut away. It has formed roots.
Garden Rudiments I have a large euphorbia lactea variegata crest, I prefer graft,reason? The plant is weak on its own root, grows slow without graft and yes grows into the soil, the plant will grow over the scion and you won't see it over time like mine is now
Brian from the Ambar I wouldn’t do a full day of direct sunlight. Mine gets direct sunlight for a couple of hours in the morning which isn’t as strong as midday or afternoon sunlight. As the sun moves across the sky, other plants, shelving, greenhouse bracing, shade my plant. So it just goes in and out of direct sunlight all day but gets “light” most of the day. I hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Santa Gonzalez I repotted mine because I didn’t like it on the long stalk. It is living. It doesn’t seem to have hurt it. No change in it’s outside appearance. Thank you for commenting!
They naturally have athin stocks that goes into the groung. here's a picture of my crested elkhorn that I brought few days ago- imgur.com/gallery/UvcsE3t In the picture you can see the beautiful stock and the cacti fanning out. its quite young so doesn't have much waves yet.
Shleby, is the tissue that is black soft like rot or does it look like suet? First I would not be watering it since it's wintertime. Water only if you see that it is starting to wrinkle. If it's rot, you can try cutting off the rotten area until you're into tissue that shows no rot. Don't touch the sap, it can be very irritating to the skin. Let the cut harden off and watch to see if that takes care of it. If it looks like black suet, fungus, etc., it may have a mildew or fungus growing on it that you need to treat. Hope this helps!
CODPOV I have it planted in a mix that is crushed granite, cactus soil, and sand. My environment is humid. A cactus natural environment is dry. My soil mix will dry out faster when watered, and have less danger of root rot. The more “soil” that is in your mix, the longer it will take for your mix to dry out. I use 1 part sand, 1 part crushed granite, and 1 part cactus soil.
You should have removed the glued pebbles, then you would be able to plant the whole plant. You cut it off w/o aby roots. You should not have cut it at all. .plz don't cut the plant. Go get another plant and do follow my instructions. Plz remove the glued down pebbles, with a knife and a small hammer or gavel. Plz don't ruin another plant. Happy planting ❤️
I”m sorry you didn’t like the way I treated this plant but it actually worked well for me. It put on roots and survived for several years. So was not ruined. Happy planting to you as well!
Yes, it is still alive and it has put on roots!!

I have a growth on my coral cactus. It looks like a separate green plant?
The graft on mine actually sprouted a branch with large leaves
Mine did the same thing and I was wondering what that was. I thought perhaps it was going to get a flower. Thank you for sharing.❤
They are both species of euphorbia, so both plants produce that latex.
If I didn’t want to cut mine off, could I just place the stem/graft thing low in the soil so the top was only sticking out? Or will it rot?
I'm not sure what it would do. Try it and see. I think it would only rot if it stayed too wet.
What will i do may plant is sick
I cant believe you cut that it has roots and a long stem and u just cut it what did you do with the rest of the plant namely the stem and the roots.

Why didn't you just removed the rocks ???
Hector M. Jimenez Jr. I didn’t want anything below the crest. That’s why I cut it where I did.

why do they come in rocks? Will soil not work?
CODPOV I have it planted in a mix that is crushed granite, cactus soil, and sand. My environment is humid. A cactus natural environment is dry. My soil mix will dry out faster when watered, and have less danger of root rot. The more “soil” that is in your mix, the longer it will take for your mix to dry out. I use 1 part sand, 1 part crushed granite, and 1 part cactus soil.
CODPOV the rocks are glued on top of soil. The glued rocks are actually really bad for the plant but I think they do it for shipping purposes.
It’s just a small layer of rocks, there is potting soil under there.
Oh I see
