Four little cuttings of quite a rare or at least a quite hard to find plant .
Found nice person selling cuttings at a very reasonable price , very happy me !
Irresistibly fascinating 🧐. Extraordinarily weird 🥸 - Euphorbia platyclada .
Madagascar is it's natural habitat . Sub-tropical and tropical dry forests . Perfectly camouflaged to look like dried up vegetation and sticks lying amongst the rocks on the woodland floor .
Anyway .....
I have potted them up in a mixture of potting compost , grit and perlite .
I have no idea how fast or slow growing they might be .
I'll be watching closely for signs of new growth .
They don't have leaves .
They do have tiny ,very simple flowers that are typical of most Euphorbias . I look forward to seeing it in bloom .
👿Also like all Euporbias - it has a poisonous , milky looking , caustic sticky sap and great care should be made in handling it .Wear gloves and do not touch eyes ...if it does come into contact with eyes ...seek medical attention immediately !👿
Apart from that , it just looks like a bunch of dead sticks ! 😀
Allow cuttings to callous over before potting them up .
Of course it is more commonly known as the Dead Stick Plant .
Please ignore this label !
It is a succulent , not a cactus ! I have to make another label !
So , I am left thinking .....how would I know if these cuttings don't take ? 🤔🤣
Watch this space ! 😀
Peace and Love 🕊️🤍
Make it a great weekend ! Love Debbie 💐x
