RE: 🌸 Desert.plants.passion / Dichotomous Branching in Mammillaria hahniana
Euphorbia can be difficult, everything must be just right for them. I'm interested to hear what you say about watering while rooting. Many people say never water but my experience is that they do need water and the plastic is necessary, too
In my experience they need regularly watering while rooting (that is totally opposite practice of rooting cacti), and plastic pot to keep the soil moist. But later when stability is achieved, soil must dry before next watering, and it just depends on species how good drainage should be. Some are easy to grow (like famous E. milii), and some are hard to grow, especially those pretty caudiciform species, that I really have to have all one day!
Yes they vary a lot in their habits. My favourite are the South African Euphorbias, especially the caudiciforms, Meloformis and Obesa
