It's always a relief when these things show signs of life after winter, so easily a pot of mush...
Pachypodium cowpat
Pachypodium horombense
Pachypodium brevicaule

Re: Pachypodium cowpat - signs of life
Looking good Phil. Always a great time of year this, with lots of anticipation and the whole growing season ahead
Not much happening in the Sulco. greenhouse yet but plenty buds are appearing on grafted Sulcos. which are always over-wintered in my cool (min. 9C max. 13C) livingroom.

Lovely little leaf! It must be all that fertiliser.
My E. stellaspina has made a new little starry spine. Nobody else had budged... apart from Cheirdopsis vanzylli, who went to the big greenhouse in the sky.

Re: Pachypodium cowpat - signs of life
My Euphorbias have been doing all sorts of wierd things. One E. schoenlandii that was 4 years old turned to mush (sad) but quite a few are flowering, one of my E. bupleurifolia's is growing leaves while the other isn't, and E. milottii is flowering (they are gorgeous)

Recently acquired? I thought you didn't had an Euphorbia bupleurifolia.McFarland wrote:one of my E. bupleurifolia's is growing leaves while the other isn't, and E. milottii is flowering (they are gorgeous)
Of mine just one is starting to form a leave right now. All others are still leafless. Nothing to be worried about. There is always a plant out of sync, sometimes.

Re: Pachypodium cowpat - signs of life
Hi Phil
The pachys are looking good, especially the p.brevicaule.
I have a friend who keep his pachypodium in an unheated greenhouse but has them on soil warming cables and they seem to thrive.
Who has experience of keeping these for a long time & not the easy ones like succulentum & bispinosum.
Sachi
Schoenlandii is a winter growing Euphorbia so give it a good watering.

Re: Pachypodium cowpat - signs of life
I treat mine as a summer grower for some time now, a few years. I would not say the thrive, but are doing okay. Getting a bit bothered by little bugs... But the summer watering scheme does not seem to doom them. They spend the winter along with the cacti and others that can bear a cold dark winter dormancy in an unheated room.Tina wrote:Schoenlandii is a winter growing Euphorbia so give it a good watering.
