Yay, more Karma. What an ICON!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Yeah, she is WONDERFUL. We have two more vids of her on the Flock Finger Lakes channel as well :) kzbin.info

I absolutely love karma and her conservatory!!!! my favorite field trip from you by far

[@wanderers5641]

I would watch a collab video with you two every week and never get bored. Also- there is zero ego or arrogance to be found even though you both are so brilliant and I cant even begin to explain how refreshing that is. Thank you for this content 💜💜💜

[@ShikinHambali]

I am wayyy over the moon each time you post a succulent content 🪴🌵🪴🌵

[@ChopsticksDIYGarden]

Watching this 3 years later, and it's a great episode. Thank you!

[@GardeningInCanada]

The filming style is so nice well done. 🇨🇦❤️

[@strawberrymonster123]

I’ve failed at propagating mine more than a couple times so here’s to another try!

[@jimmyperez2367]

Would you mind making more videos on euphorbias? Please please I am really into them and could use some help as well as my friends. Please make more thanks so much

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I just bought one of these from a local garden centre. I had no idea what variety it was until I did an image lookup. So cool!

[@debs_boho_jungle]

Summer this was perfect timing for me, ty! I was just gifted a cutting of this Euphorbia. Its already giving new growth. I didn't see much when I researched it..so just propped like I do my African Milk plant Euphorbia.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Fantastic! Glad the timing worked out and well done!

[@keinank.a.1244]

LOVE Karma!

[@livyvk5369]

this content was absolutely gorgeous! loved every minute, so educational!

[@krishrao7338]

but what is the procedure after detaching the offshoots?what substrate?watering schedule till they root etc.

[@dreadpm420]

Thanks ! Fan from French Riviera you re very welcome here one day. 😉👍🌱🌵🌵🌵🌿🍁

[@jonstfrancis]

🌵I was repotting my Euphorbia pseudoglobosa just this morning and wondering about potting up some babies from it! 💚 🌵

[@lisablanchfield9875]

Thank you, you are so informative, thorough and articulate. ❤

[@SakthivelOrganics]

Awesome Video Very knowledgeable cameraman. 😉😄😄😄

[@ladystardust9707]

I JUST nicked up a little baby one of these guys! This is a beautiful specimen! I’m so excited to watch mine grow into something as beautiful as this one!

[@ryleewinkel2547]

those prop trays are so colorful!! need to try that

[@christmassnow3465]

I was always frustrated from the results of rooting a "side shoot" which was allowed to curve upwards. Those ended-up growing into a tall and spindly succulent which could not stand on its own without support as well as being top heavy. I usually take from the tip down as much of the "straight" segment as possible. Once it caluses, I plant it. This creates a short and stocky stem which can grow well.

[@L-xj2xs]

Good information about chlorophyll I didn't know about. 3:00

[@MartinTdrsky]

I recently propagated my euphorbia mammilaris for the first time, and the milky liquid was a total supprise

[@sanyadsilva5581]

This is insane!!! 😍

[@dyrcosis]

I love euphorbias and am quite grateful their sap does not irritate my skin. If you just look at some euphorbias wrong they'll bleed white sap on you!

[@SanghaGarden]

beautiful plant cactus

[@pakatzadventure8823]

Nice share....on how to propagate....👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@Hello_Fuckers0]

Luckily for me our cat doesn't care about the plants at all. He doesn't even get anything out of catnip, so now I have a catnip plant that I trim for the feral cats my neighbor takes care of

[@JoePlantitoVlogs]

Very imformative educational video. From Philippines Thank you so much keep safe.

[@galindezgardenandadventure7509]

Sooo Cool!!!

[@villageandcityqasbasarai7031]

Nice 👍👌🎥🌱🏡

[@sarahjohnston4782]

Same, I collect euphorbias and have had the sap all over me, rubbed eyes and all and never once any irritation at all. I think it's a genetic trate too, my family has grown euphorbias for 3 generations now and none of us react to it

[@radiotaxiolbia5375]

Very good simona dalla Sardegna👩‍🌾👍

[@JeraldBaliteTV]

Pls make longer videosssss we missed your one hour long videos

[@LeeDfined]

We do...but sometimes you just want to get to the point and get in and get out.

[@markdale278]

When I’m dying them out , I had one shrivel a bit after a week . So I watered it .. see what happens with it .

[@SanghaGarden]

very beautiful

[@kataclysm6]

My cat LOVES plants. She has to taste every single one I get. My plants have bite marks and half leaves. We have been very fortunate so far that she hasn't gotten sick.

[@zap4980]

Thanks for sharing ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️

[@nohelialovatonaragon4745]

After you take the pups, how do you root it? You put it on dirt?

[@biebermyballs100]

Some people put them in cold water or under running (cold) water to stop the sap. I don't know how effective it actually is

[@summerrayneoakes]

I've definitely done that with Hoya.

[@victoredwardo9485]

@@summerrayneoakes doesn't the Cold kill the plants?

[@allupinya5938]

Plumerias also will work this way. Water in a bowl and swoosh then rubbing alcohol.

[@cristinapinheiro1638]

Have you done a video on Calathea being reclassified as Goeppertia?? 💙

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

interesting propagation

[@CraneDude]

Can you do a video with obesa propagation taking pups off mother plant thank you

[@cassgruberman6425]

Yes I LOVE euphorbias!!!!

[@stardoll1995]

I love euphorbias they're so cute! 😍

[@rooteddwellings]

awesome mine are fricking huge i need to propagate it so badly

[@markdale278]

Can you propagate Euphorbias during the winter ?

[@taylirfairbank6237]

I am confused if you need to cut the brown what i assuming is "rotting" part and if you need to do anything to help them callus over?

[@yudhik6654]

Hi...

[@ryecatcher1670]

Hi there. I've just received a Euphorbia ritchiei. There are 3 snapped leaves, could I possibly try and propagate from these leaves? Any advice would be so very much appreciated.

[@jaketheperson8495]

Im going to get a euphorbia! I just dont know where.

[@cutecactuspot4098]

I will visit her page

[@jaketheperson8495]

My Euphorbia just lost all its leaves🙂

[@roselynmvm]

I know she is selling plants and that specific plant is for that purpose BUT I can’t help to feel sorry for that poor plant always been picked on. Plants do have feelings and this just seems wrong. It doesn’t even look that healthy. It seems like a sad life for that poor plant to have just to make money. But I’m sure most people are “ok” with this anyway ☹️

[@LeeDfined]

Now you are right in a sense. But its the cycle of life. I am working on becoming a vegetarian out of my love of animals. And I love plants obviously. But we humans have to be able to do something. Cutting a plant to spread the love AINT gonna hurt.

[@roselynmvm]

@@LeeDfined I can see your point as well, but I don’t fully agree with it. Just because it’s not hurting you doesn’t mean is not hurting the plant. What I’m talking about in here is EXCESS. It is excessive the way this plant is being taken advantage of. They could easily have several plants that they pick on, and not just one that takes all the beating. Like I said in my original comment, most people are ok with this, which is very bizarre. I know I’m not going to get any sympathizers, but that does NOT mean it’s ok to treat a plant in this way, or that the plant doesn’t suffer. Everything that’s alive suffers when it’s being mutilated. There are better approaches out there and the one in this video ain’t it. And the plant is not being cut to “spread the love”. It’s being cut because of making money. Big difference. I don’t feel is very altruistic or neither related to the cycle of life. Plants are not born to get dismembered constantly. That nothing has to do with the cycle of life, but it definitely has a lot to do with dirty capitalism.
