The Succulents and Pottery Compulsion

My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Euphorbia platyclada

While cleaning the benches, I notice this Euphorbia platyclada has a flower.

Pretty tiny, but I'm really glad I got to see it. A sign that the plant is happy and willing to divert energy to flowering.

Euphorbia platyclada Update September 9, 2018

I recently repotted these plants into slight larger accommodations. I am totally intrigued by the coloration. It seems to be getting stronger with direct sunlight.

Euphorbia platyclada Update

Update on the E. platyclada -

I have three cuttings of this plant growing in different containers. Getting it to take off has been trying... they are on their own time - but there has been incremental progress.

Euphorbia platyclada

This is a really ugly plant!!! I love it!!!

No - its not dead - it just looks like it

The literature on the web is conflicting on this regarding growth rate. Some sources say it is a fast grower, others say slow. But they converge on the lighting requirement - bright shade. Water in the growing season (May to September).

I'll grow them out in these 2" pots for a while. Ugly plants rule!!!
