You definitely have my attention here Lyn!!! I love this plant of yours!!! You know, there are certain plants you look at and say...OHHH!!! LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!! This is one of those plants!!!

But I just love the form, shape of your plant!!!! Outstanding!!! Congrats on raising this beautiful horrida!!! Thanks very much for sharing this plant and your great info on this plant!!!

Wow! I absolutely *love* your beautiful Euphorbia horrida, Lyn.. 💚 I bought one about 8 years ago and it's one of my very favourite Euphorbia (along with obesa).. it has never pupped though, just grown tall and plump 😁 and one baby sprung from it 3 years ago but on completely separate roots and even that has grown a lot.. definitely relatively fast growers, especially when compared with obesa.. Thanks for the fabulous and interesting upload! xx

You’re telling me it’s not actually a cactus!? 🤯 I was wondering why I’ve been having such a hard time with this plant (I’ve killed 2 so far) because I’m normally really good with cacti!! I’m so glad I found your video. Definitely subscribing

The sound of the seagulls makes me hungry for fish and chips with a good trickle of vinegar 😋 that is a great euphorbia. I am glad the name doesn't translate into what it looks like, because there is nothing horrid about it 😊 have a wonderful day ❤

Thanks for the upload! I love your plant. I got a small euphorbia horrida 'snowflake' in December and am very excited to watch it grow. I am assuming that the snowflake variety will grow much slower than the euohorbia horrida. Are they forgiving if you water when the media isn't fully dry?
Thats fantastic you have a Euphorbia horrida 'snowflake' they are beautiful, they are still quite fast growing but I do think they may be slower growing then the 'horrida' as I have a 'snowflake' one too that I have had for about 3 years which is growing well but not as fast as my 'horrida' grows, the good news is they are definitely more forgiving if you water when the media isn't fully dry than the cacti would be, thanks so much Rodderick for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle XXXX
What a gorgeous euphorbia! I love all euphorbia plants! I have overwatered my suzannae & the stems are looking a bit brown & slightly soft. I’ve took it out it’s soil & removed all roots(rotted) the plant isn’t too squishy…in your experience will it recover or just die? Thanks I’m advance xxx
So happy you love Euphorbias too, oh no so sorry to hear about your Euphorbia suzannea, the good news is its still very possible your plant can recover especially if the plant itself has not rotted, its best to leave the plant unpotted for a few days and keep an eye on how your plants gets on, if the plant is rotting you will see the plant die back pretty quick and it will be too late to save it, but fingers crossed after a few days if all looks well you will be able to plan tit back up into well draining soil and your suzannae will re root itself again, once potted up keep more on the dry side for the first couple of months, and just water the first inch of the top of the soil and then wait till the soil has dried out fully before watering the top inch of the soil, this will help to encourage rooting, once your plant has re rooted you can water as normal, good luck with your suzannae and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you for your reply!! Unfortunately the brown mush was travelling along the arms so I quickly cut off the nice healthy bits & now will let them callous over for 2 weeks I think you said in one of your videos & I’ll pop them on the soil following your advice I will only water the top. Fingers crossed! You have helped me no end with all my planty probs 🥰🥰 xx
@@vixistixi Well done on saving the healthy parts and letting them callus for a couple of weeks, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and keep me updated on how your suzannae cuttings get on XXXX 🥰❤🌵
You suggest seperating cactus into individual pots to avoid spines damaging each other however i notice some of yours are in clumps of more than one? And to be honest i like three or more tall column cacti in one pot. So any tips on this ? Just found your site, im a novice so excited to watch more of your great vids. Many thanks 😊
So happy you found my channel, I love to have some of the cacti all in the same pot, but I do like to separate any of the clumping cacti that have the spines that may damage the other cacti if they are growing too close to each other, but if the spines are soft or not growing into each other I love to leave them on the cactus, some of the cactus pups grow around the base and can be left on the cactus, if your tall column cacti are not growing into each other with the spines then the good news is you can still Keep them in the same pot if they have room around them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Tuesday XXXX
Hi Michelle, propagating Euphorbias can be a bit trickier than cacti due to the milky sap they give off when being cut, if you check out my wonderful friend Clyde Morris here on You Tube he is a Euphorbia expert, his channel is called 'Morris Park in the Ozarks' Clyde has amazing videos on Euphorbias and propagating them etc, I can really recommend Clyde's channel, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and support and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Tuesday XXXX
Thats fantastic you have this Euphorbia with lots of pups too, I like to leave them on the Mother plant as the pups can be tricky to remove with the sap that Euphorbia produce, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX

Hey Lyn, yes I do. Got 3 of them and they need repotting so I'm glad to hear you'll be making a video of your repotting. Your's will be much more difficult as they are larger but mine while smaller, will be no picnic either. Thanks Lyn! Ta ta for now.

Wow! I absolutely *love* your beautiful Euphorbia horrida, Lyn.. 💚
I bought one about 8 years ago and it's one of my very favourite Euphorbia (along with obesa).. it has never pupped though, just grown tall and plump 😁 and one baby sprung from it 3 years ago but on completely separate roots and even that has grown a lot.. definitely relatively fast growers, especially when compared with obesa.. Thanks for the fabulous and interesting upload! xx
Thats fantastic you have one of these Euphorbia horridas too Fiona :-D I really love Euphorbias as they are so cactus look alike in their shapes and forms, they really are incredible looking plants, so happy you loved the video, and thanks so much Fiona for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Italy for a wonderful afternoon XXXX

You’re telling me it’s not actually a cactus!? 🤯 I was wondering why I’ve been having such a hard time with this plant (I’ve killed 2 so far) because I’m normally really good with cacti!! I’m so glad I found your video. Definitely subscribing
Thanks so very much for subscribing I really appreciate it so much, and so sorry for only just catching up with my comments now, I have been working away for a few days but back home again for the weekend to catch up, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic weekend XXXX
The sound of the seagulls makes me hungry for fish and chips with a good trickle of vinegar 😋 that is a great euphorbia. I am glad the name doesn't translate into what it looks like, because there is nothing horrid about it 😊 have a wonderful day ❤
haha with the fish and chips Nina :-D and so happy you love this amaizng Euphorbia is really is an amaizng looking plant, thanks so much Nina for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Spain for a fantastic evening XXXX
I think I have one E. horida. I'm not 100% about the ID. Got it from work. It had mealy bugs but with a little tlc it looks a lot better now
Thats fantastic you may have this amazing Euphorbia too, it really is a stunning Euphorbia to grow, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
Thanks for the upload! I love your plant. I got a small euphorbia horrida 'snowflake' in December and am very excited to watch it grow. I am assuming that the snowflake variety will grow much slower than the euohorbia horrida. Are they forgiving if you water when the media isn't fully dry?
Thats fantastic you have a Euphorbia horrida 'snowflake' they are beautiful, they are still quite fast growing but I do think they may be slower growing then the 'horrida' as I have a 'snowflake' one too that I have had for about 3 years which is growing well but not as fast as my 'horrida' grows, the good news is they are definitely more forgiving if you water when the media isn't fully dry than the cacti would be, thanks so much Rodderick for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle XXXX
What a gorgeous euphorbia! I love all euphorbia plants! I have overwatered my suzannae & the stems are looking a bit brown & slightly soft. I’ve took it out it’s soil & removed all roots(rotted) the plant isn’t too squishy…in your experience will it recover or just die? Thanks I’m advance xxx
So happy you love Euphorbias too, oh no so sorry to hear about your Euphorbia suzannea, the good news is its still very possible your plant can recover especially if the plant itself has not rotted, its best to leave the plant unpotted for a few days and keep an eye on how your plants gets on, if the plant is rotting you will see the plant die back pretty quick and it will be too late to save it, but fingers crossed after a few days if all looks well you will be able to plan tit back up into well draining soil and your suzannae will re root itself again, once potted up keep more on the dry side for the first couple of months, and just water the first inch of the top of the soil and then wait till the soil has dried out fully before watering the top inch of the soil, this will help to encourage rooting, once your plant has re rooted you can water as normal, good luck with your suzannae and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you for your reply!! Unfortunately the brown mush was travelling along the arms so I quickly cut off the nice healthy bits & now will let them callous over for 2 weeks I think you said in one of your videos & I’ll pop them on the soil following your advice I will only water the top. Fingers crossed! You have helped me no end with all my planty probs 🥰🥰 xx
@@vixistixi Well done on saving the healthy parts and letting them callus for a couple of weeks, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and keep me updated on how your suzannae cuttings get on XXXX 🥰❤🌵
You suggest seperating cactus into individual pots to avoid spines damaging each other however i notice some of yours are in clumps of more than one? And to be honest i like three or more tall column cacti in one pot. So any tips on this ? Just found your site, im a novice so excited to watch more of your great vids. Many thanks 😊
So happy you found my channel, I love to have some of the cacti all in the same pot, but I do like to separate any of the clumping cacti that have the spines that may damage the other cacti if they are growing too close to each other, but if the spines are soft or not growing into each other I love to leave them on the cactus, some of the cactus pups grow around the base and can be left on the cactus, if your tall column cacti are not growing into each other with the spines then the good news is you can still Keep them in the same pot if they have room around them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Tuesday XXXX
how do you propagate...show a video of that ❤❤❤
Hi Michelle, propagating Euphorbias can be a bit trickier than cacti due to the milky sap they give off when being cut, if you check out my wonderful friend Clyde Morris here on You Tube he is a Euphorbia expert, his channel is called 'Morris Park in the Ozarks' Clyde has amazing videos on Euphorbias and propagating them etc, I can really recommend Clyde's channel, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and support and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Tuesday XXXX
I have one with pups but I'm afraid to remove them for it may damage the plant
Thats fantastic you have this Euphorbia with lots of pups too, I like to leave them on the Mother plant as the pups can be tricky to remove with the sap that Euphorbia produce, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX

I didn't know the meaning of "horrida".
In spanish "horrida" is defined as something (femenin)that provokes horror. 😂
haha yes the name horrida is not the best name for this not so horrid Euphorbia haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle XXXX
