Enjoyed the video, I like the name Monadenium too! 😄 Amazing to still have plants in one's collection that have great age, and are still going strong! 👍😁🌵🏜☀️🌵🏜☀️
Yes, I love my old ones!!! So many memories behind them!!! Thanks for watching Claire!!!! And your wonderful comment!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to the U.K. , ave a wonderful weekend!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌴🌺🍀🌷🌲💐🌻🌿🌹😀👍
Thanks!!! Yes I love these Euphorbias they just show how variable the family and genus are!! Euphorbias are so cool because of this!! Small weeds or giant cactiform trees!! Thanks for watching!!! And your wonderful comment!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a wonderful weekend. Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🍀🌻🌱🌾🥀🌿🌷💐🌴🌹🌳🪴🌸😃👍
Thank you Clyde for this presentation. I'm really grateful for this video and happy because last month I purchased my two first monadenium (stapelioides and mamillare). They are still young cuttings but I love them very much. And when I see your gorgeous plants I just want to find more of them ! I wanted to go to the Elk Cacti ans Succulents Fest in Belgium in september but unfortunately my schedule doesn't match this year. It's always a great happiness to be in such kind of event. What is your favorite cacti and succulents fest in the US ? Thank you for your video and sharing your beautiful monadeniums with us ! 🌵🌵🌵💚💚💚
Yes! I love my monadeniums!!! Finding them here is hard. The one I found at the grocery store ( lugardae) was just one of those by chance discoveries. I bought my guenthei at the Springfield yard and garden show 3 years ago. I have not been to a cactus & succulent event in 37 years!!! The last one I went to was where I got my heteropodum at the Los Angeles cactus & succulent show at the L.A. County Arboratum. And until this spring I hadn't been to a cactus and succulent nursery either!! Here in the Ozarks, we are out in the country!! Closest towns only have a couple of thousand people at most!! To get to a bigger town it's 12 miles away. Nearest big city is 100 miles from us. So most new purchases come from online or big box stores here. Drummonds is the only cactus & succulent nursery , and it's two hours away near st. Louis missouri so no cactus & succulent events for me!! Hahaha!! Get em where I can ! Good luck with your monadeniums!! Thanks for watching!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Paris France, have a great weekend!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!! ✌💖🌵🌴🌺🍀🌷🌲💐🌻🌿🌹😄👍
Another awesome video, Clyde. Great to see some of the ones from Edith and myself settling in and doing well 😊 I prefer using the name Monadenium as well, at least that’s what is written on the labels of my ones haha. Thank you for sharing with us as always my friend. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself to you and Deb 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜
Yeah, I'm just " old school" and the Euphorbia journals have them as monadeniums, and I just like the name, Hahaha!! A few of the new plants are showing signs of growth! Of course, the neorubella, the Euphorbia debilispina & pterocactus tuberous , even though it has no roots!! One of the cuttings has a new branch at the top! Thanks for watching Daz!!! And your great comments!!! Hope Edith and yourself have a wonderful weekend ahead!!! Peace,Love,Plants✌💖🌵🌴🌺🍀🌷🌲💐🌻🌿🌹😀👍
@@morrisparkintheozarks6831 that’s great to hear, Clyde 😃 The cool thing about the Pterocactus as well is, even though it has a tuber/caudex, the cuttings will eventually form those as well and once big enough can be exposed like the neorubella 👍🏻🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🌼
@@Cactimania Yes, I'm looking forward to the caudex!! I should have did a video potting up this one!! It was quite funny😂 every time I got it in the pot it stuck to my fingers like Velcro and pulled them back out of the pot about 3 times!!😧😯😂 hahaha!!
Wow! This is an awesome video featuring beautiful Euphorbia species! 😍 amazing age on some of them! So happy that we were able to send you some to add to your awesome collection. Have a great week both you and Deb! ❤️🌼🌸🌺🌵💚
I really want to breed crown of thorns to one of the really stocky euphorbias like obesa. Hopefully creating a plant with the leaves and flowers of crown of thorns but with a huge stocky base.
@@The_Kitbashers_Crypt Thanks very much!!! Euphorbias are facinating plants!!! Please try the crown, obesa cross. Experamentation is how we learn things!!! But being from two very different groups in the genus, you may not get seed. Some from one group, won't cross with another. Say, Euphorbia ingens × caput medusae. These two won't. But some crazy hybrids have been done!!! Pollinators made my Euphorbia enigma!! Euphorbia stellata x Euphorbia evansii hybrid. A dwarf paired spine flat medusoid with a tree Euphorbia. The one thing they have in common is both grow branches from a central growing point. I know a few of the other Madagascar species will cross with Euphorbia milii. Have fun making new plants😀👍 From Morris park in the Ozarks, have a great weekend ahead Peace Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌴🌺🍀🌷🌲💐🌻🌿🌹😄👍
@@morrisparkintheozarks6831 I feel like with euphorbias it's almost a waste of a flower to try and breed true to form. When the parent plants are so easily propagated asexually through cuttings. I want to use my flowers to make plants that look unique to themselves. Here's my current euphorbia species list. Unfortunately only milli is blooming but hopefully next summer I'll get the chance for some cool crosses. milii obesa polygona snowflake Zig zag trigona ritchiei lactea mammillaris tirucalli ferox aeruginosa
I have a Euphorbia poissonii variegated. It looks so much like your Euphorbia ritchiei variegated. I wonder how they are different. Every winter it looks dead. I get nervous and wonder if I killed it. Then at summer, I get excited when I see the leaves start growing again.😁
No, not the same plant, poissonii is more of a small tree or shrub. But an awesome one!!! A great plant!!! Monadenium richeii grows more like the heteropodum. Upwards, then out wards, like a bunch of caterpillars , Hahaha!!! They both lose their leaves during drought or rest period. Very normal for a lot of succulent Euphorbias!! Nice to have variagated ones!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a great day!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!!✌💖🌵🌴🌺🍀🌷🌲💐🌻🌿🌹😀👍
I am just curious how you propagate them I have a pieceBut I get no shoots from it I was thinking of topping it I guess it's a 2 step cutting method I guess you call itDo you think that wouldWork as far as getting babies to come up from the soil Or do you think I need just the plant it deeper
Sir I had monadenium I just knew it was Euphorbia after researching. But the monadenium slowly died to salvaged whats left I cut an inch and put some powder and air dry for one day. Then I replant the following day, i dont know if this will survived what do you think? Thanks
If there is no brown or black it may do ok. Best to leave to dry for about a week. This will make sure the cut will callus and completely dry. Then just put the cutting in the soil just enough to cover the very bottom about 7 mm . Water just a little. Cross your fingers and hope for the best!! Thanks for watching!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌿🌷🌱💐🌴🌹🌳🍀🌻🌾🪴🌸😃👍
@@morrisparkintheozarks6831 thanks for your prompt reply Sir but the thing is I already replant it after cutting the healthy stem and thereafter I air dry 🥶only for 1 day😰🤭
Yes, it's better if you can wait. Being that you already have it planted, you will just have to keep fingers crossed and hope it comes through. It very well could be fine! Best of luck!!
Ok Marc, this laylia / cattleya is fairly easy. In the spring, start feeding with an orchid food or food that is recommended for "acid loving plants" different brands are different so follow the directions on the container. This should make it grow new psudobulbs during the summer months. Each psudobulb will have only 2 or 3 leaves and one flower spike at the tip ( meristem) this spike should produce one or many buds , flowers. After the bloom that psudobulb stops growing. No more leaves will grow from this one. But a new shoot should grow from the base of the old psudobulb to produce a new psudobulb , leaves & flowers. This will take a long while. This new one will bloom next year. This orchid is so easy that I just hang it in a red bud tree and it does great!!! Not all orchids can take that but this one is a toughie!!! Hope this. Works for you !!😁 Thanks for watching!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, have a great day!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!! ✌💖🌵🌸🌴🌲🌺🌳🌻🌿🌷🍀🌹😀👍
Hahaha!! 😂 sorry,Wrong plant!! I keep them in leaf from early spring to the fall dry off just by watering when dry and 1/2 strength mirical grow tomato food once a month from April till August. Mine stay in the greenhouse in bright & hot conditions. My greenhouse is kind like a desert in the summer, it can reach on hot days 120°F. Even with all windows open and vent fan on. They seem to really love the conditions!! 😁👍and that's about all I do! Thanks for getting me straight on my plants!!! Hahaha!! And for watching!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, have a great evening!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌴🌲🌺🌳🌻🌿🌷🍀🌹😀👍

Those are some fantastic mature monadenium. Your 37 y.o plant really highlights how ornamental this genus can be given enough time
