QuestionHello Jeff,
I know this plant is not a cactus, but I cant seem to find any care or propagation information on the web at all except for how toxic the sap is.
I have one that has grown well for the last 7yrs, its quite a size, but now I'd like to take cuttings, and also I'm wondering whether I need to repot it into an even bigger pot as its starting to list!
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be most appreciated Jeff.
Thanks in advance.
Marie Wallace
AnswerDear Marie,
Yes, you're likely to need to repot it, and I'm glad you're aware of its toxicity. Cuttings are best taken in the Spring, when the weather is warmer and the cuttings are more likely to root.
I must admit, I grow no Euphorbias. I know a wee bit about them, but if there's someone in the world who does, it's Frank (Mr. Euphorbia).
Here's a link to his site:

And he's happy to answer any questions you might have (if they're not answered in the excellent web site that he's constructed).
Good growing!
Regards,
Jeff
