Euphorbia lactea cuttings

Post by Succulent »

I have a 2 foot tall plant that was originally sunburned at the bottom and I would like to cut off the top half which is looking nice now and reroot it. It is now in a greenhouse and looks like it is growing currently. Nights are in the 50's and daytime temps can reach 90 in the greenhouse right now.

What time of the year is best to succusfully make cuttings of E. lactea? I tried once and they never rooted but I don't remember the time of year I tried.

Are there any other tricks to root these cuttings?

Euphorbia cuttings root best when it's hot and humid.
Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!
