Phoenix AZQ.Euphorbia with black spots
Our euphorbia "lady slipper" plant has developed black spots on the tips of the stalks. We bought this about a year ago and it has shown no signs of change in the entire time. We had it in a clay pot and just moved it to a plastic pot because it didn't seem to dry out much in the clay. Now the stalks have black spots in the tips. What does that mean?

April 13, 2015A.I assume you are saying you have not had any flowers form on your Euphorbia.
Though the stems look green and viable, I believe your issues are growing environment.
I have listed a few links for you to get your plant growing--hopefully!
The Black Spots are most likely a fungus and would need treatment, Neem Oil would be a good choice.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/orchids/lady-slipper-wildflower.htm

Zone 9, north central Florida (Ocala)Q.Propagating a Euphorbia cultivar from healthy stem
Propagating a Euphorbia trigona cultivar from healthy stem....sideways! I would like to take a long healthy stem from a Euphorbia trigona (?), which has been "topped" several years ago. That stem is healthy but non-productive and puts out neither leaves nor blooms. The plant is a Madagascar cultivar and produces showy red blooms and inflorescence from all other stems. THE QUESTION: Can I take the 14" stem and cut it into four or five pieces and plant each horizontally in agar agar in a propagating tray which is covered? Since a cut-off end usually just stops growing, I want to make a bunch of these prolific bloomers on the cheap. Or is there another method?
- Answered by

July 27, 2015A.I have not been able to find any propagating information for the method you have proposed.
Here is the prescribed method.
Take 3 inch cuttings in spring or summer.
Dip the cut ends in warm water for a few minutes to stop the flow of sap.
Allow the cuttings to dry for 24 hours. Then dip ends in rooting hormone and put in barely moist potting mix.
You should have roots in 6 weeks.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/euphorbia/growing-euphorbia-plants.htm

8, Seattle, WAQ.Madagascar Jewel aka “Euphorbia leuconeura”
If this unique plant promotes tumor, why are they in people's homes? I was just given a mother plant from a friend that didn't know the name of it or about it. She owns two of them. It's beauty is so deceiving. Can you tell me how much of it causes tumor? Breathing, touching, etc...?

December 9, 2015A.The sap that is released if the plant is damaged is a skin irritant.
No part of the plant should be ingested.Here is a link with more information.
