Euphoria Over Euphorbia Leaves!

April 6, 2015 in [Monday - Liza's Plants] | Tags: appropriately in time for Easter, Crown of Thorns plant, Good to Grow

Well whaddaya know? Remember when I smuggled those Euphorbia milii ‘Crown of Thorn’ cuttings from Florida back to New Mexico? (I wrote about them here.) They dropped all their leaves shortly after I planted them, so I didn’t hold a lot of hope for them to survive. But they did, and now they’re producing new leaves!

It’s so exciting!

Appropriately, the new leaves started emerging just before Easter. Coincidence? I could not answer that. But it’s cool.

About Me

Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I’m a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.

Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they’re indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.

Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.

All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you’d like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don’t suck. We have a deal? Good.

I don’t know how many different types of Euphorbias(and there are MANY) I threw out before figuring out this is one of their natural mechanisms. They are not ideal plants for impatient people, or as my mother put it, “Leave it alone and it will grow.”
