Small desirable Euphorbias

[Herts Mike]

I have half a mind to add these to my collection.

Suggestions please!

Hi Mike,

We have been featuring these in the CactusWorld journal over the past two years in the series "Euphorbias worth knowing and growing" - now if only you had kept those journals

A couple from the articles spring to mind - E. juglans, E. meloformis, E. esculanta.

I'm sure some of the experts will recommend some others.

Hi
a nice small choice one would be e.gymnocalciodes, not often seen for sale, sometimes grafted but it is fine on it's own roots just slow.
e.ambovensis is nice with a small caudex, e.francoisii is a pretty one there are some lovely red forms with good coloured veins & also a crassicaulis form.
e.micrantha another nice one, you should have looked closely when you visited.

Have a look at the Euphorbia thread in genus of the month.

E. decaryi, E. cylindrifolia, E.pachypodioides, E.ambovombensis, E. moratti. Small and very nice.

E. juglans is my favourite. Does anyone else find it starts to grow in January....?

Euphorbia tulearensis is a really desireable dwarf, best from seed as it doesn't seem to like root disturbance.
E piscidermis is a good one to try on it's roots , v e r y s l o w and small
E suppressa,

Thanks again.

Now all I need is to find them.....

Hello Mike! If you are going to ELK in september you might find quite a few of the mentioned plants. Otherwise you could order from Exotica (Ernst Speck) or some other Continental nurseries.
