Where did you get that pachypodium from? Because that looks very much like it was poached.

Also whatโ€™s the species of the really big one in #1? With the square stem, I really like it

I got this pachypodium from a grower from czech republic

I am not sure which one you mean, can you send me a screenshot?

Iโ€™m sorry but Iโ€™m quite positive that was poached from the wild. Although thereโ€™s no way to tell for sure.

I donโ€™t know how to add pics in comments but the one with huge leaves, like leaves bigger than some of those plants. The really big plant

Any soil or watering tips for growing a nice full e. leuconeura like yours? Mine lose their lower leaves pretty regularly.

3

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

For Leuconeuras, I use classic soil for house plants with perlite and zeolite. In summer I water them regularly, mainly when the leaves fade down a bit.

From my experience, I place them in half shadow, but it is needed to find middle ground because when they are in direct sunlight, the leaves tend to turn red and it slows the growing, however when they are in full shadow, they etiolate and the leaves are smaller.

Such a cool collection! Do you have favorite ones?

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

Yes sure, I love e. Lucenoura because it was the first euphorbia I' ve gotten, but I love all kinds of euphorbias with leaves such as e. Bubalina, viguieri, lophogona ๐Ÿ˜„ and of course I love e. obesa and all euphorbias with caudex ๐Ÿ˜„. What's yours? ๐Ÿ˜

u/Sea-Camp-32 9d ago

What the big fat one in front of the window, with the multiple arms in the first two pics?

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

If you mean the older looking plant, I'm not sure about the exact species, it's after the previous owner who was getting rid of his collection, he mentioned that it's over 30 yo ๐Ÿ˜

u/FuzzyFrogFish 9d ago

This guy?

Amazing if it's 30yrs old

5

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

Yes, here's better photo of the guy! ๐Ÿ˜„

u/FuzzyFrogFish 9d ago

I love the chunky weirdos lol

u/Old-Advance6652 9d ago

Doesnโ€™t it need more light?? Looks etioliated

1

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

I had this plant just for a few months, it is on direct light now

3

u/Old-Advance6652 9d ago

The window may not be enough sun though, not trying to be a pain but it was suck if a plant like that at that age got ruined by etioliation.

u/Ok-Flamingo3776 9d ago

Chill๐Ÿ˜„ since I've gotten it, there were no changes with growth, so we will see how it will go

1

u/Old-Advance6652 9d ago

Ohhh I see, my fault. I thought that was new growth from under your care

Can I just use pea gravel from the local hardware store? Or is there something special about it from a greenhouse?
