    I know for some other plants the use of a tuning fork is fantastic for getting them to drop pollen. Potentially you can try that on some of the trickier euphorbs to pollinate. Just a thought but I know for certain carnivorous plants like heliamphora it's pretty much the only way to go about it. Anyhow great video as usual can't wait to see the next installation.

    Just left Africa. Tanzania. Omg. The baobab trees. Wow. Just WOW! Huge euphorbias too. And I mean huge. Nothing compared to the baobabs …nothing compares to them but it was the trip of a lifetime.

    Looking forward to the adenia, (my pestering may have been an influence), currently ordering an Adenia Venenata for the "my plant is exquisitely dangerous" flex. But winter is setting in here in the US Midwest so that may be the last plant order for at least a few months.

    Hello mate :) If you bought your euphorbia francoisii and they was grown from cuttings, they might be sterile, sometimes only male sterile, sometimes only female sterile, other times both. Worth keeping an eye on, if you cant get any polination to work. Also with hybrids from seed, you can get them sterile aswell, but chances is less. awesome video and best regards 💚💚🌵🌵👍👍

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  2 дні тому

      These are all seed grown - I feel like it might be a timing issue? Not hitting the female flower with pollen when it’s receptive or something. I’ve got about ten of these plants, all from seed, so I can’t imagine they’d all be sterile.

    Going to go look see if there is an illustrated book on Euphorbias. Geez And all I knew was E.Millii, had a red flowered one and thought getting the yellow flowered one was a big deal 🤗🌱

      There’s probably a few illustrated books on Euphorbias… but there’s just so many of them it’d be hard to keep it all in one volume. I’ve got a pretty chunky book solely dedicated to the Euphorbias of South Africa… and these things grow all over the world 😬

    I own both Euphorbia milii (1 year old) and Pachypodium lamerei (3 years old almost 4) right now my pachypodium lamerei is extremely bushy since it suffered burning underneath a grow lamp which resulted in the original growth point to die and sent out 3 main branches and 2 or 3 sub branches and she's been growing in zone 7B with temps reaching above 40C easily and gets afternoon shade during the summer but during spring and fall full sun
