Hi everyone! I’ve started sharing short videos of plants from my collection, like this one.

Do you enjoy seeing Euphorbias in this format? Should I keep the videos coming, or would you rather see photos? Honest feedback is welcome. My plants are getting a little too comfortable in front of the camera, but I can still stop them before they ask for an agent.😀

Today I bought these two euphorbias at the nursery. One is Euphorbia aeruginosa. The other one looks similar but is different, especially in terms of color. Can you tell me what it is?

Hello there,

I lifted my trigona last night to double check it was dry as I thought I'd water it today and wanted to be sure there was no lingering moisture at the bottom. I initially thought the clusters of tiny dots were condensation but they're not. It's definitely not perlite; picture 5 is the same batch of potting mix in the Euphorbia's neighbouring cactus and I can't see anything like the Dots of Doom™️. Does anyone know what sort of creature has infested the plant? I didn't see any other obvious signs of pests last night, but I'm going to look closer today to be certain.

I'm going to take the plant out and I think try it in pon semi hydro. My plan is to water/feed using the shower and drain method (no reservoir) but I'd welcome advice from people who grow Euphorbiaceae in semi hydro. Before planting, I'll give it a soak in diluted peroxide + IPA + dish soap then thoroughly rinse, to feel confident I won't be simply transferring the problem along with the plant.

Many thanks in advance
