You are the cutest RUclipsr ever! This was educational and put a big smile on my face. I’m a subscriber now for sure! My African milk tree was getting huge, so now I have like 7 new plants. So exciting. :-)
Love your energy and video! I have a Milk Cactus I am trying to save. I came home and a screen door had fallen and bent over my mother stem! She now has a slice across 1/3 of her stem. In the spring if I just slice straight across and follow the videos drying and replanting process will she reroot?
My question is if I want to cut them because to large I would like to use the bottom and the piece I cut in the top in a new pot how take care of the bottom pieces the one have the root or how is the best way to cut it ..?
Thanks Lucia! I wonder, the place where you cut on the main bit, it certainly start to ooze the white sap there too, some sources say I need to apply something for it to heal without getting infected, do you do that too?
My large milk tree got awful rot so I’ve had to cut all branches off and hope they grow roots I’m so nervous it will die on me :( before this it had so many lovely red leaves!
I received a cutting in October and of course, I had to propagate in water to get roots. If I am not suppose to plant until Spring or Summer what do I do with it?
I watered right after putting it in the soil, and I've been watering every week or so now... It all depends on the environment you likve in but we want to keep the soil moist (not wet) so the roots can establish themselves.. Always make sure that the soil almost dries out in between waterings so you don't overwater your plant :)
How many propagations can we do at a time? My plant has an immense amount of offshoots I’d like to propagate but I don’t want to cause the mother plant to go into shock or anything.
Lucia hice este proceso hace dos semanas,y las puse en tierra seca por 10dias y decidí echarle agua y uno de los tallos se pudrió . Me arrepiento verla regado . Tú crees que invierno no es el el mejor tiempo para ellas de hacer esto?
Thank you for this straightforward video. I am curious as to what happens to the part of the main plant that gets propagated. In my plan that part just dried off and nothing new came out? Is that normal? Should I be applyiing something to that section?
I would like to know the answer for this question too. I have exactly the same situation. How about the main plant? Is there any chance to get a new branches in the place where I cut them?
Hi My African milk tree is about 3.5 ft tall. Can I take a cutting off the top? Will it continue to grow? Do you think it will branch out? It grows very quickly but I would not want to damage it by cutting off the tip. It's in a pretty good sized pot it seems to be happy but like I said it's just three plants growing straight up. Thank you for your help and ideas.
I inherited a 6ft tall 50 year old plant that has been cut completely cut in half at the trunk and many arms removed for propagation many times. Cutting them actually encourages branching. Use a clean cutting tool in the spring or early summer and you should be fine.
Dear Lucia…do I need to add root powder to the fresh cut! I have an African Milk Tree that is no longer rooted because the mother portion has died, but I still have 2 nice arms that I think can be saved. I would like to send you a picture if possible.
Hola Lucia! Where do you get the Black Gold Soil from? I’ve seen it in multiple videos, but never seen it in Berlin. I use the Palmen- und Grünpflanzen Erde from Der Holländer at Treptower, but Black Gold gets a lot of love online! Thank you!
Hi! I usually water it when the soil is dry. So about 2 weeks or so in my case but it depends on where you have it, what material the pot is made of, and environmental conditions. Do you have a cutting now? What potting mix do you use?
Hi Lucia, can the stems be made thicker? I’ve seen one where “the trunk” was very thick. Maybe it was fake but it looks fantastic and I would like to try and thicken up mine...
Hello! Thanks for making the videos I find it hard to find info on these plants! My cuttings are loosing their leaves, is that okay? Also I noticed the very top of the cutting getting thin and shriveled does that mean I need to water it more? Thanks so much your amazing btw!!
Hi! So glad you find the videos helpful :) It may mean that it needs more water, but I'd need more info just to make sure.. How often do you water it? and what method do you use?
Hi! I was moving my plants and one of the branches of my euphorbia got caught in something and tore a little at the base 😢 Do you recommend propagation now since it's October and not the growing season?
How do we freshen up the soil without taking the whole plant out? Mine is about 4 feet tall and it’s browning at the base, is this normal. I also would like to propagate and plant in same pot, would you recommend this? Thank you!
These are great questions. For the first one, I can share my experience with our monstera. This is a 30 year old monstera and since she is so big, we cannot repot her completely. We learned that we can remove the top layer of soil every year or so and refill with new soil. This may work for your Euphorbia :). Hmm... the browning I don't think is a good sign... How often do you water it? and what method do you use? Also, since this plant grows big, I wouldn't propagate it in the same pot, this is just to make sure the roots have space to grow and thrive :) Hope this is helpful and we are in contact :)
Thanks so much. I posted a pic of my plant on my local plant share fb page and the reply’s I get have been that the browning at the base is corking... I’m going to hope and pray that’s his is all. Thanks for the great advice.
Hi Lucia, I accidentally over watered mine and one whole section looks very soggy in the bottom near the soil do you think I could cut farther up into the healthy part before it works its way up and propagate what’s left? It would be about 1” thick where I cut. Do you think it would survive? Thanks!
Yay! So happy you liked the video ☺️ Let me know how the propagation goes 🌵♥️ Btw, we are celebrating 10,000 subscribers and are doing a giveaway to say thank you 🥰 if you'd like to participate here is all the info : ruclips.net/video/9r4N0YEJ1KU/видео.html Sending lots of positive energy to you and your African milk tree!
I've had my cuttings in soil for about 45 days and there are no roots starting. Am I doing something wrong or should I wait longer? The callouses look fine and there is no rotting, but also no new growth. Thank you!
Hmm I haven’t tried it yet, but would not recommend it. It may be too much standing in water as it is a succulent. Have you seen it propagated in water somewhere else?
Hey dear... Actually today I took cutting and I propagated too.. So should I spring out?? and propagate after seven days..? Please tell me what should I do now.. 🙃❤..please reply early so that I could take a proper and early decision 🙃☺
@@PlantsandLucia see I propagated it 25 days ago.. It's green now.. But I don't know it's growing or not..?? What should I do.. How could get if it is growing or not??
Hi Lucia, thanks for another amazing video! So simple and helpful! I just have one question, a piece broke off my milk tree but it actually already looks calloused, would it be okay for me to pot it straight away, or should i cut a fresh bit and then repeat the rinse and callouse process you described? Thanks so much!
That's a great question! hmm I'm not sure but will try to do my research about this.. I just grafted a moon cactus this week but to a normal base cactus, will show you guys the video soon :) .. Since this is not actually a catus, it may not be possible.. but I will see if I can find the answer to this.. !
Yes, I'd like to see the result as well. And I'd also like to know if you should put the tree in full sun immediately or indirect brightly lit area... she fails to mention anything about after potting the cutting or how long it should take to root...etc. I agree with the other viewer's comment... her video is a bit "Dora The Explorer"
Hi! You can see the result in my instagram stories. I have a highlight dedicated to updates on my propagations.. thanks for your question Jena. In my experience it takes about a month to root and I have it in bright indirect light.
It really is gorgeous 😍 I like how u kept it short but entertaining. Luv ur energy
It is, right? Thank you ! So happy to read you liked the video ☺️❤️❤️

Aww thank you so much 💚💚 your comment made me smile ! So happy you liked the content and welcome to the community 🪴💕!
Wow. Your Milk Tree is gorgeous.
Thank youuu!! It is such a special plant for us because it was a gift from a very close friend 💚 do you have an African Milk Tree?
@@PlantsandLucia no I don't. I wish
Very nicely explained. Love u from India , also Love your voice .
I going to wait until the start of next year's growing season to propagate my euphorbia.
I really enjoyed your smile🌷
Thank you I was looking for how to propagate it!
Thank you Lucia for showing us how to do this, I was just repotting my euphorbia mammilaris and a piece broke off, now I know what to do 😊
Yay! You are very welcome ☺️ happy to hear this will help you when repotting your Euphorbia 🌿
Also thanks for the great straight info
Thanks for showing us how to propagate Euphorbia.
You are very welcome! Let me know how it goes for you 😊
You're so sweet... Thnx for tips. Now I try to grow my own 🌱💚☯️
Yay! Let me know how it goes :)
Hi Lucia, my plant grew way too tall and is leaning/falling over. Can I cut through the main branch? Will it callus over?
Love your energy and video! I have a Milk Cactus I am trying to save. I came home and a screen door had fallen and bent over my mother stem! She now has a slice across 1/3 of her stem. In the spring if I just slice straight across and follow the videos drying and replanting process will she reroot?

My question is if I want to cut them because to large I would like to use the bottom and the piece I cut in the top in a new pot how take care of the bottom pieces the one have the root or how is the best way to cut it ..?
Love, Love your African milk tree! Have a question. If someone gave you a cutting in the Fall what do you do with it until Spring 🤔😳😟?
Hi im new here me i ask if its okei to expose them in the morning sun if they are newly repotted?
Great video. 🌵
Thank you!! It is so easy to propagate this beautiful plant :)
Thanks Lucia!
I wonder, the place where you cut on the main bit, it certainly start to ooze the white sap there too, some sources say I need to apply something for it to heal without getting infected, do you do that too?
Now I know what to do...thank's
yaaay! You are very welcome! :)
How long does it take to establish roots?
Hi, what should be the best way to keep the cutting during the week before planting ? Gracias !
Same question. What ended up working best for everyone?
My large milk tree got awful rot so I’ve had to cut all branches off and hope they grow roots I’m so nervous it will die on me :( before this it had so many lovely red leaves!
I received a cutting in October and of course, I had to propagate in water to get roots. If I am not suppose to plant until Spring or Summer what do I do with it?
I have a plant like this but it’s just two straight cacti(?) so can you tell me how I can encourage the branching out? Thanks!!
How’s it doing? I would love to see an update!
Hey Lucia. Last summer we receveid an African milk tree. But it is very big and I think it is not happy. What should I do with it?
When is the next time to water after propagating and how often?
I watered right after putting it in the soil, and I've been watering every week or so now... It all depends on the environment you likve in but we want to keep the soil moist (not wet) so the roots can establish themselves.. Always make sure that the soil almost dries out in between waterings so you don't overwater your plant :)

Hello did you ever try this? I've taken a cutting from the top but also a smaller arm like the video and wondering if the big part will grow

I have two straight milk trees how can I encourage the branching?
Have you ever tried using pon to root this cactus?
Hmm I haven’t tried it! Do you have experience with it?
Is it best to put only 1 cutting in a pot or can you do several?
please tell me how did you get to have those branches on the beautiful plant , i only find them with one stem , no branches , thank you
Cut the trunk it will branch out where it is cut.
Hola lucia saludos de mexico
How do you water the cutting? Why do they always rot?
Hi! I usually water it when the soil is dry. So about 2 weeks or so in my case but it depends on where you have it, what material the pot is made of, and environmental conditions. Do you have a cutting now? What potting mix do you use?
My plant is just one long tower. It has leaves but no branches.
Cut it in half it will branch out.
Hi Lucia, can the stems be made thicker? I’ve seen one where “the trunk” was very thick. Maybe it was fake but it looks fantastic and I would like to try and thicken up mine...
This is a great question! It may be possible.. I have to do my research and see and of course I'll let you know :)
@@PlantsandLucia muchas gracias 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
what is best for watering the cactus just after you put the soil or after 2-3 days after you put in the oil?
For mine, I watered after I put it in the soil, and then again about 3-4 days later.. :)

@@PlantsandLucia I water is every 5-10 days and I tent to just top water! Lightly thanks for the speedy reply ❤
@@664bob ah that seems to be ok..! Do you have IG? Maybe you can send a picture there so I can see
Rocks at the bottom of the pot do not help with drainage. They actually have the opposite effect
I use rocks to protect my drainage hole.

hi lucia i just want to ask if all kinds of euphorbia are the same in propagation need to dry up for a week?
It is better to do this with succulents so the wound heals :) what kind of euphorbia are you propagating ?
Hi Lucia, I accidentally over watered mine and one whole section looks very soggy in the bottom near the soil do you think I could cut farther up into the healthy part before it works its way up and propagate what’s left? It would be about 1” thick where I cut. Do you think it would survive? Thanks!
Hi! This may be a good way to save her. Do you have IG? Maybe you can send a picture and we can figureit out there 😊
The style of the video is a bit to ''Dora the explorer'' for me ;) but thanks for the information!

Probably a very obvious question, but you plant the side you cut (and allowed to callus) into the soil, right? 😬
Yes ! I first wait for it to callus and then plant the side that I sit into the soil 😊
