How to Propagate Euphorbia Trigona or African Milk Tree from Stem Cutting

- Euphorbia trigona or African milk tree is a perennial ornamental house plant growing up to 3 meter tall. It's commonly known as African milk tree, Cathedral cactus, Abyssinian euphorbia, High chaparall and originates from Central Africa. It's belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and it is a pest free low maintenance plant. Euphorbia trigona plant propagation can be done by stem cutting and you can do it any time of the year, but best growing season is spring.
Propagation steps:
First of all cut any healthy stem. When you cut the stem, white latex come out from here. The latex is a poisonous and it can causes skin irritations. Now I'm make potting mix for euphorbia trigona plant. The ratio of the potting mix is 60% normal garden soil, 20% vermicompost and 20% fine sand. Mix it well. Otherwise you can use cactus potting mix. Take a pot with well drainage system and fill it with potting mix. Before planting stem cutting allowed to dry 2 to 5 days for callus. Make a hole center of the potting mix with your finger and place this cutting into the hole and press it gently. Finally give some water and keep it partial shade place.

Bro I am waiting my watapp no 9861013065
Good video kep it up...
My cactus is 2 meters tall and I would like to cut down the stem since it touches the roof. Would the stem be OK after? What do I need to do to make it not bleed?
After cutting stem from mother plant, use contact fungicide (like SAAF) in it.
@@iamgreenbengal do I spray it directly on the "wound"? Will the stem bleed? 🫣
Yes, use it in direct cutting area.
@@iamgreenbengal thank you so much 🫶

Hello
Please tell me how get it to branch , i have one with one stalk ,no branches , thank you
Nice propagation of african milk tree.
Thanks
This is the easiest propitiation I've ever done!
Did it work?
I run something like a village sign and hill in western New york, like the HOLLYWOOD sign, acquired a huge 50 year old one of these with many branches, if soil is right, should this plant survive planted on my hill? I plan to dig them up every fall, already do this with palms.
Yes it should be survive on your location.
Nice thank you for sharing
You are most welcome 😊
Good job 👍
Thanks
Thanks. I have a plant that is twenty years old and I don't have room for it to grow any bigger! Am cutting to give away.
You are most welcome.
Cada cuanto tiempo hay que regar el esqueje? dentro de esos 2 meses hasta que echa raiz?? Gracias!
Euphorbia trigona cuttings don't requered too much water, when top of the soil fell dry the water it. Roots are well developed with in 2 to 3 months. You are most welcome.
how does the original plant grow after being cut? it doesnt split, does it?
Original plant have a new shoots come out from clipping stem and it's growing well.
Superb video bro😊
Thank you
I did this in the winter and one of the stem rotted, why? Do you think is not good ideal to wet the soil because it’s winter season?.
It's main reason is overwatering, when top of the soil feels dry then water it. Best cutting growing season is spring and you can use cactus mix.
@@iamgreenbengal thank you !
You are most welcome 😊
I want this plant ,but the problem is it is unavailable in nurserries and in local mostly they are in Private homes and are worshipped ,So how can I take a Branch
Currently I don't have this plant.
Can vermiculite be substituted for perlite?
Yes you can use for a common purpose.
No, Vermiculite retains water
Can we propagate it by placing the cut piece in water??? Is there any other method for propagation
Euphorbia trigona (Cactus plant) not propagate in water, better you can try it any well-drain potting mix.
@@iamgreenbengal thank you
@@randomthoughts6487 you are most welcome 😊
You are adorable.
Thank you 😊
How often do you water it furing those 2 months?
Cuttings don't require too much water, actually it's depends on your climate. When top of the soil fell dry then water it.
Did you say it could propagated anytime of the year?
Yes, but best cutting growing season is spring and autumn.
@@iamgreenbengal thank you
@@mariocean808 you are most welcome 😊
Heloo bro , kya app ek cutting de sekte he pls
Ha de saka hu .. but mera gharpe ana paraga 😊
I've tried to propagate this plant. It killed my cuttings
I think it's main reason is overwatering, cactus don't requerd too much water.
Although some arent too picky..with succulents/cacti a good rule of thumb is "no roots = no water" without roots they can't take in the water leading to rot. Keeping them dry will cause it to send out roots to find water. Also avoid spritzing and moisture as it creates fungi and rot.
Thanks
You are most welcome 😊
I was expecting a bit more roots after 3 months..... Am sure you must have have equally shell shocked seeing just one thin root. What was supposed to be an Alfred Hitchcock scene petered out.... sorry mate.
