What Euphorbia is this ?

Post by Hero878 »

Anyone know what kind of Euphorbia is this? I saw it in a plant shop, one from the Mexican Icons range in the U.K. quite expensive £140 because it's so big. But I would like to source a small one for my collection.
I love how it grows with stems that are thick and then thin and kinda meandering around.

They are very fast and easy vs cacti from seeds.

Thanks I also found the seeds and was wondering if they would takes ages. I'll google to see how long it could take. As long as they are much faster than cactus it could be fun then.

Oh? Are we speaking of Euphorbias in general or just this species? ‘Very fast and easy’ sounds tempting... :D I read somewere that Euphorbia seeds have very short viability though, is this true?
