Evil Genius Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Hi Greentea! Better pics would be great! On the thumbnails, it looked like monstrose brigesii but i think it´s actually something else. Does it produce milky sap when cut? Edited January 31, 2014 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted January 31, 2014 looks like Euphorbia sp. maybe E. tirucalli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr33ntea Posted January 31, 2014 Hello It is definitely not a euphorbia as it does not produce any milky sap when pierced Uhmm she let me take a tiny piece so I will send pics of it, I am on my phone so I will upload to imgur if that's OK http://imgur.com/j4eG6ED http://imgur.com/TU37DG2 http://imgur.com/nTGB80n Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted January 31, 2014 Does it grow leaves at any point in the year? And do you know if it has tuberous roots? I was thinking some kind of ceropegia or maybe alluaudia. But i'm not sure. I guess we'll have to wait till it flowers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr33ntea Posted February 1, 2014 It is in very poor and dry soil, i don't think it has flowered for a long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted February 1, 2014 I have no clue then. It looks different from the two genera I posted up there but similar in other ways. Hard to tell untill you get it growing nice and healthy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prier Posted February 2, 2014 Does it smell funny when you break a stem? I think it's a senecio species Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr33ntea Posted February 4, 2014 Doesnt produce any smellI think i will take Hostilis's advice and wait till it grows a bit, as it was very old and lying dormant in poor soil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kapitän kamasutra Posted February 4, 2014 I think prier is right, looks like Senecio kleinia 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prier Posted February 4, 2014 I think you're right kapitan. looks a lot like Senecio kleinia, specially if you're in melbourne, both para and cactusland have grown a lot of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
