  • A ten month, or technically a year on from growing some Euphorbia obesa and obesa symmetrica hybrids, we'll be taking a look at how they have progressed over that time. We'll also be un-potting and potting up some more obesa and symmetrica seedlings and putting them out into the greenhouse for summer. Enjoy! :)

    Awesome update! I have 6 obesas, 5 female & 1 male. I’ve sown about 25 seeds so far and 95% have germinated and I’ve got even more seeds coming! Mine are about 1-2 months old and most are around the size of a pea, but growing fast, I grow outdoors 11 months out of the year so that really helps my euphorbias thrive 😁

    • @Cactimania
      @Cactimania  Рік тому

      Thank you 😊 Yeah the females tend to outnumber the males, although they can change sex from female to male and vise versa. Looking forward to growing more of these once the symmetrica seeds are ready. Good luck with your ones, too. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

    Wow! Time flew! I loved that you showed us a recap of your videos about these cuties. They have changed and definitely look like their matured form already. I have not grown these plants from seed. At what point do they lose their cute little leaves, Sweetheart? They also changed their form from looking like lollipops to globose and compact. So very interesting! These are one of my top faves in Euphorbias. ❤️🌱🌵💚

    Beautiful plants as always Daz! Got my first obesa a few weeks ago, It's in bud so I'm trying to figure out if it's male or female just to get another one of the oposite sex :D. Also wanted to ask, my Obesa had a laaarge tap root coming out of the pot, I had no option but to cut it to repot, will this be an issue for the plant's health? (I've hold watering for the last two weeks)

    • @Cactimania
      @Cactimania  Рік тому

      Thank you so much 😊 I’ve got a video on the channel on how to tell the males from the females. It’s strange for an obesa to have a taproot. From what I’ve seen and read it’s symmetrica that has the thicker more taproot like roots, while obesa has more fibrous roots. So maybe yours is actually symmetrica? How much of the taproot did you cut off? Taproots generally don’t regrow, but if you just removed a little piece of it, it should be okay. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
