I had one of these Euphorbia planted in my Phoenix garden. In 2007 we had a hard frost and the entire plant turned black. I had to remove it unfortunately. But these plants are now planted outside all over the Phoenix area. Around 2010 they really got discovered here and how pretty they are when orange in the winter. We have not had another bad frost since, but eventually we will be seeing lots of black mushy plants in people's gardens! Right now they are gorgeous and brightly orange. In summer they turn just green.
It must be amazing to see all these Euphorbia tirucalli plants in Phoenix and I love the wonderful orange glow they get, yes so true indeed, I also fear that in the future we will be seeing a lot of black mushy plants in peoples gardens as the weather is changing all around the world with colder than average winters and hotter than average summers, thanks so much Nancy for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Phoenix for a terrific Tuesday XXXXX
Something very similar happened to the same exact Euphorbia Tirculli I had last winter out of no where, but I know it wasn’t cold damage because J had moved it inside in time. It had been growing beautifully, & I had it under plant lights inside & just randomly one day I started to notice some discoloration similar to yours & even to I cut it back, the virus just continued to spread no matter what I did. I ended up losing the whole plant, & still have no idea what happened. Maybe they are susceptible to a type of virus? Anyhow, i hope your plant will be ok! How is it doing today? I did lose a whole bunch of plants to a couple of very cold nights that weren’t expected. I did move all my plants inside, but sadly as the months of going on more and more of them just keep dropping dead & even though this was all the way back in November it seems that my euphorbia plants are just now showing signs of dying! I can’t believe that it’s this much later that you see the effects of cold damage! I have a huge pot of euphorbia tanzania that I really love it and all of a sudden out of nowhere, even though it’s putting on new growth , some of the pieces are just turning yellow and dying so I need to try to get it out of the heavy terra-cotta pot that it’s been in ( not sure how I will do this ?) and see what to do next. I also hadn’t realized how extensive Cold damage can be. Even after I remove what looks like the diseased pieces to leave only healthy flesh, the virus seems to just continue out of nowhere. ugh very sad, but I hope you have better luck with yours! 😊💕
What a pity you had to chop down a large part of your wonderful Euphorbia tirucalli plant! It was a real beauty! Hope it will recover well and have new growth! It's interesting that you spray water on the white sap to stop it from bleeding! Thanks for sharing Lyn! Have a wonderful evening my friends Lyn and Hans! Lots of love and happiness!
Thanks so much Sylvia :-D it was such a shame we had to give this Euphorbia the Chop as it was such a wonderful shape and size as it was, I love its wonderful stick like appearance and its one of those ones that doesn't 'bite' haha, the water works so well at stopping the milky bleed, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a terrific Tuesday afternoon XXXXX

Hello Lyn, thank you for the instructional video. I'm sorry this happened to your beautiful Euphorbia. It was so tall. I hope it's going to be okay. I don't have one in my collection so I have no experiences. Thank you to Hans for the double duty. Hans the cameraman and Hans the Euphorbia surgeon. Sending you and Hans peace, love and Euphorbia Power for a Wonderful upcoming week from your friend in Georgia!
hahahaha Jeff :-D Hans is loving being called the Euphorbia Surgeon and cameraman haha :-D its such a shame that this happened to this Euphorbia as it was such a wonderful size and the perfect shape, I have moved this Euphorbia in my office now to keep it warm, usually our back grow room never drops below 50F even though its unheated because its indoors, but during the extra cold weather it dropped to just 41F inside as it was below freezing outside, all our other Euphorbia are looking great despite the cold, but this Euphorbia seems to be an extra sensitive one, thanks so much Jeff for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Georgia for a terrific Tuesday XXXXX

Good move guys!! Yeah if left on the plant the bad spot could spread!! And yes you just made another one rwal easy!! These guys are so easy to root!! And you are spot on with the treatment of the sap!! This particular Euphorbia has a very toxic sap!! It is known to blister soft skin if not washed off properly!! Well done!!! Thanks for the shout out!!! And thanks for sharing guys!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to across the emerald isle, have a wonderful week ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌳🏵🌿🌸🪴🌷🌱🌲🌹🌴🌻💐🍀😃👍
Thanks so much Clyde :-D I was so sad to see this bad spot on the middle of this tirucalli and panicked when I seen it, I have moved it into my office now as its nice and warm in there, usually the back grow room never drops below 50F in winter even though its unheated as its indoors and gets a lot of heat from our kitchen at the side, but during this extra cold winter when it was many degrees below freezing outside it dropped to just 41F in there a few times, all the other large Euphorbia are looking great but it was too cold for this one, I really regret not throwing some fleece cloth over them or putting in one of our small house heaters when it got so cold, I will make sure next time as they have forecast another spell of extra cold weather coming up later this week, thanks so much Clyde for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Deb and all the pets and plants all lots of love and happiness and PEACE, LOVE, PLANTS and PLANT POWER to Morris Park for a terrific Tuesday XXXXX
Hi Lyn and Hans! Very brave cut! I hope the plant turns out all right after this and is heading for a very happy, long life now : ) I am always scared that my Adeniums and smaller Euphorbia that are on a windowsill, will suffer from the cold humidity on the window. You're adding to my nightmares with this video : ) I hope the youtube algorithm picks up for you and you'll get past the 100K point, you so deserve it! Best wishes from Dublin
Awwwwww thanks so very much Nathalie :-D I was really worried when I seen the brown marks on this Euphorbia tiracalli, but thankfully it has recovered really well and is starting to send out new shoots from where it was pruned back, my grow room is normally around 10-15c without heating, but this winter it was so cold it fell to 5c a few times and this poor Euphorbia suffered, this winter was so challenging with our plants but thank goodness Spring has arrived at last haha, thanks so much Nathalie for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comments and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Dublin for a fantastic rest of the week ahead XXXX
Hopefully it recovers well, Lyn. I think it’s cold damage as it looks similar to what one of my Euphorbia had it the past. Turned the same colour on one branch but I removed it before the blackness worked its way down toward the main stem of the plant, it’s doing fine now. Keep us updated on this one, Lyn. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening from Edith & myself to you and Hans ❤️🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Thanks so much Daz :-D and so happy that you saved your Euphorbia from the cold damage, I was so sad to see this tirucalli looking so bad and I really think this Winter has been extra challenging with the low temps, usually our back grow room never drops below 10c even though its unheated as its indoors, but in Dec and this month when the outside temps dropped to -4c it was just 5c in the back grow room, thankfully all the pilosocereus and other large Euphorbia are looking great but it must have been too much for this tirucalli, thanks so much Daz for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to England and Singapore for a terrific Tuesday afternoon XXXXX

You know I had notice a black mark on one of the leaves on my aloe plant I got nervous and threw the hole plant away. It came with some already on the plant when l got and I just cut the part off. But I had noticed some more growing on and just got scared. 😒
Thats a shame that you got the black marks on your Aloe, I often see them appear on some of mine in the past, i am pretty sure its a harmless type of fungus that doesn't seem to spread to the others, I cut off the affected leaves and mine always recover in time with new unaffected growth, I sometimes see this on some of my Gasterias too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Tuesday XXXXX

Cold damage. Maybe some cuttings were still viable. Add also some paper to stop the bleeding faster than only with water.
