    I have mine for 6 years now and propagates it so much its now reached 5 feet and has become unruly. I loved how this video had the before and after and ideas of how to sort of design it. I have the red kind and i have to say, it loves bright direct light or it will start to drop leaves. Also, the taller they get the more water they demand. Awesome succulents for beginners.

    I have one of these that is about 12 years old and it is over 5 foot tall. I never cut it off it just bushed out real nice anyway. Great video I just want to add one thing they do not like to get below 50 degrees centigrade for very long. I have trouble with bugs on my other succulents but never have had any on any of my euphorbia's. I figured it was just because they were poison or they dont like the sap.

      You can let the plant dry off for one day after cutting, that is standard practice in nurseries. For my general potting media I use coco pest, perlite, burnt rice hull and worm casting. But any fast draining mix would work on these guys. They are quite adaptive

    I just got a white euphoria in. And the roots seem to be at the very bottom and soil seems to be piled around the trunk of it. 2 or 3 inches. Is this how they grow? Or do I need to repote it and put the roots at the top of the pot? And it also seems like it would be very wobbly. And I would need to support it.

    • @onlyplants

      Personally what I like is to dip in charcoal and put in dry soil. Wait the next day before watering. But it may not be the best way, its simply what brings me convenience and joy. Leaving it a few days is what most professional growers do, but I havent got the heart to do it

    What does it mean if the leaves start turning yellow? I don’t over water and there doesn’t seem to be any root rot because it’s a sturdy plant (not falling over) should I take out of pot to check?

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  ปีที่แล้ว

      Could also mean light is too low for it.
      But for this plant its normal for the leaves to turn yellow and shed quickly.

    What's the smallest cutting you can take that would have a chance of being successful? 6", a small 1", a single plump leaf?
    The stems of mine have been getting squishier and I'm not sure why. Watering monthly has been consistent. Same grow lights and sun situation and all. Anyway, just trying to work with what I've got.

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say 2-3” would be ok for a cutting. Perhaps the media was too water retentive that it was rotting the plant? Once a month seem quite reasonable, I water mine almost daily but in a desert-like potting media that drys in hours

    I have one of theses plants but I don't really know what to do. I mean it grows in height and it grows some side "branches" like in the video. Thinking should I just let it grow as high as possible or should I cut it...idk. 🤔 I like it high so don't want to cut it down totally maybe cut around one third or fourth of the height to see what happens and replant the cut bits.

      Mine is around 50cm high. If I cut say 10cm off the top will it grow out like three new "branches" at the top then?

    I tried cutting my 2 "leg" euphorbia ammak when it was about 10 inches tall, all it did was scar over and then recontinue it singular growth, so I tried on the other piece at 24 inches, did the same thing, so 5 years later its 6 feet tall.

      That depends on your environment and other factors. Give it excellent light and do let the soil dry out completely before watering it until full saturation. Then let it dry out again.

    Hi Shawn. Thank you so much for the great videos. I have Euphorbia trigona, which is constantly bending (reclining). I read it might be from too much water in the pot but that is not the case. I switched from 2x a week to 1x, and the leaves dry. Please advise.
