Euphorbia - offsets or seed pods ?
This Euphorbia gymnocalyciodes flowers regularly, and I've recently noticed these 'lumps' (3 in the picture) appearing all round the plant. At first I thought they were seed pods, now I'm not so sure. Are they offsets ?

Re: Euphorbia - offsets or seed pods ?
They look like offsets to me, is the plant grafted or on own roots?
It will look odd in a few years time.

Offsets, seeds would be from pods on the top

Re: Euphorbia - offsets or seed pods ?
It is grafted, and therefore not typical, but at least I'll have the oppurtunity to try rooting the many offsets that are appearing, or grow a clump !

So, not only cacti offset when grafted... good to know. Cheers Phil
