Euphorbia waringiae Root cutting

Many caudex species of Euphorbia can be propagated with root cutting.
My E. waringiae had root rot before, and the main caudex were destroy.It's been 7 year and she grow back a lot of small tuberous root.
When I re-pot this year, I found that these roots were too crowded, and decided to trim them.
And experiment with root cutting

The time is 2019/June, the temperature is around 30C.
took it off, rinse it, let it dry for a few days, then cut the small root with a knife.I am using a scalpel.
the latex will ruin the knife so it's better to use replaceable blade.



After cutting, it is planted directly, and the wound remains above 1 cm of the soil surface. Whether or not to water immediately has no different.

After that, water after the soil is completely dry.Just like any other euphorbia.
put it indoor with part shade windowsill will be perfect.
My mixture is fine coarse sand pumice and akadama.With no organic at all.
(special design for madagascar caudedx Euphorbia )

As long as the proper temperature (25C~35C) is maintained, the sunlight is't directly, it will sprout in about 30~60 days.

This method is slower than cutting, but has a 100% success rate.

This is what look like after 2 month
