a woman i work with gave me this:


she had no details other than it was a euphorb.
here is a view from the top:


she's a botanist by degree, but works in accounting i have some really neat things from her!

so, if you can help me figure this one out, and what to do with it, i'd love it!

The pictures did not come through, at least for me. Could you try again? Thanks.

Now that's weird. The pics were dashes: - , I sent my previous post, and when the site returned me to your posting, the pics were there. Huh. No input on the plant, yet.

nice Euphorbia lactea i dont see the characteristic white bands on it... maybe just some cultivar of lactea??

pot it up in well draining soil try about a half full pot of cactus mix with the stalk standing in perlite or washed grit...and carefully water to get roots.... they root well in humid environments... but not wet ones... once you get roots pot up the stalk like normal... i have a crested "ghost" euphorb, grafted on some Synadenium stalk... mine flower in the spring they are yellow, if it is a lactea... have fun with it

it already has roots. that is a piece that fell off the mother (which according to beth is nearly 3 ft tall) and rooted in the sand right by her house. so... now i know to treat it like the rest of my succulent friends. she didn't know what it was other than a euphorbia. thanks!

a botanist working in accounting oh well...

yea they like a little more water than a cactus and a little less sun they scorch easy
