Hi Taco Truck, It looks like you have Euphorbia tirucalli in the strip - IMO, that's a liability as it exudes sap that's a chemical irritant/burning element. It's a plant that you don't want around moving people so much, but if everyone's aware of it, it's an awesome plant for the landscape. I love your idea about the strip, and it would be great to have that as an open garden, but IMO, that's the best place to have softer plants, or at least ones that won't cause too much pain. LzdDr, Again, great pictures of the progression - wow, to plant out C. juttae and others like that and watch them explode in growth!

That's great you're trying to save some of the plants on the land before they kill Every thing in there path, thank you. I don't think you'll be able to get the roots completely removed from the soil without some damage to them, but my best suggestion would be to dig up a square a little wider then the plants and with a shovel put the shovel as deep as you can into the soil around the square you marked for the dig.... and and go from corner to corner gently rocking the soil lose from the rest of the land around where you marked. Till your shovel can get underneath the plants roots as much as it can and can be lifted from the plot you directly it from. Like i did you NEVER know how far the roots are in the land so your gonna have to decide to take as much as the root ball as you can and risk leaving the one's you can't get at. Or you can simply collect the pups and leaves from the plants and try rooting them in some soil or propping them, they might take or they might not. Thanks again, i hope someone comes up with some good ideas to save these plants...they really are beautiful.

I'm no expert, but it looks to me like that red one is rotting inside the top part, not the stem! That's bad..I think you'll probably just have to get rid of that one because that red part is grafted onto the stem of another plant, so the top part won't regrow if you cut it off. The yellow one does look like its stalk is drying out..possibly because the roots have rotten? How often would you say you've been watering it? The number one cause of death for cacti and succulents is overwatering I'd say your best bet would be to re-pot it in a fast-draining, porous soil mix. Like Teatree said, you can search for some good soil mixes or just make a simple mix of 50% perlite and 50% potting soil. That won't be the BEST mix for, but the plant will be happy and dry. When you repot it, rub all of the old soil off of the roots and take note of what color the roots are..they should be fairly white, not brown or black (rotten). One more thing: the pot you plant it in should be able to breathe as well; regular ole terra cotta is the best and will only cost you about 75 cents. Don't water it for a week or so after you re-pot it, and then only water it every few weeks when the soil has completely dried out. Good luck!

Depending on the price of each VS your budget I'd suggest the following If 1500 of your money is equal to or close to 10.00 USA you should be arrested as it's a steal. Don't let the word ( or phrase ) It's rare mean you have to pay a-lot to have one. E Obesa is common in cultivation it's only rare in nature because of humans. In my opinion if you hold it means you like it, holding a plant for more than five seconds tells me you want it. Well in a word you should have took it. E Stella is any/every Euphorbia collectors must have. A very worthy and sometimes sought for plant any owner would admire and be proud to display ( I'll hold my pride on your thread though as pride also runs deep, very deep ) IMO Fat plants are a whole different addiction as are Euphorbia add the two together and you are holding a must have ( but already has) for any collector. Out of pocket here from me $ 15.00 US maybe $20.00. Fatter than that tend to be older and also well kept to get fatter. I would consider higher, if fatter and it looks that good a fatter one would warrant a higher 50.00 US but I would have to pass at 80.00 Kind of cool in looks I'd grab the one on the far left and try to talk em down a couple pounds or $$ With no idea what it is other than a cactus it's worth a shot IMO & would have grabed it if the price moved lower as well Like I said if you hold it you want it and a nice one too Holding rule also applies to the other that I didn't copy from your post and re-post When I C&S plant spend I carrying enough $$$ to buy more than I may want and pass on the ones that have no appealing/ attraction to me IMO ( & you can even ask noto ) It's sometimes a good idea to pre pay with a good deposit for a plant that you may want, have the owner set it aside and come back after considering all the other options. You can loose that special something for a very good price if options aren't negotiated quickly but be somewhat respectable and be accountable for such negotiations. there are also more that I'd suggest My question is how much of your money can I spend where you get to keep the plants ? Yeah I know the pots are small and they tend to grow slowly,hopefully you have some space for them ?
