Raven, Paul, anyone...Spurge, Euphorbia. Are you familiar with the perennial?

i have never seen it before sorry...

but if it likes drought try just

a plastic bag over it...

in a succulent soil mix...

use very little water or it'll rot.

Paul might know

Never seen Hens and Chickens that tall, that is not to say that it is not. It is a very common plant in gardens and rock gardens and die back a lot but reproduce readily. Where did you get it? Can you see parent and how does it look like it spreads. Looks like a succulent though.
Could be a spurge

If so it should be very easy to root as most are. I don't think I would soak it though. Are there any roots at all? Might just stick into some moist soil in a pot and see. It is an outdoor plant right? Really not sure what you have there.

Goose 04-01-2008 03:59 PM

Thats what it is, the plant in your pic is the same. What I know about it is...its invasive, Euphorbia's can give you a rash and is milky when broken like poinsettias. They do well in gravel paths or near stone steps but I seen them everywhere else too. I wasn't sure where to start the root system in water or soil. They're long shoots drape on the ground, some plants has 5-8 shoots like in the pic.

Raven 04-01-2008 05:17 PM

for me

Goose...Keep the clippings small (only about three inches or so) Cut right below a leaf node and carefully remove the leaves from the bottom inch of the cutting. Stick themalmost up to the last set of leaves in a tray of sand (you can dip them in rooting powder to urge them but I doubt you will really need it) wait a few weeks and carefully remove them from the sand as to not break roots. Then pot them up!

also the best sand is not to fine or course (like the white sand you can buy for kids sandboxes) and keep it warm and evenly moist not soaked or too dry....but you probably knew that already!

Goose 04-01-2008 07:03 PM

If that is spurge then watch lawn fertilizer with weed killer as it is designed to kill spurge.

That and purple loosestrife

Rav is the weed Nazi

Yard thread would be great. We could stick to the thread and then no one would know how strange we are.

Raven 04-02-2008 09:12 AM

a play on the word
 
without the B it becomes euphoria

hitler never smoked weed - that A-hole

which is why he was trying to conquer the world

never insult such a peaceful plant with a NAZI reference

thats just so sacrilegious.....and wrong...:hang:

i have none... but the door of perception
got kicked down...so now to cross over to cosmic
(artistic) thinking is easy as pie...

Good luck Raven. I have the farm bug a bit myself, but right now it is limited to a fairly small garden and a tractor. If the bass weren't so far, I would probably end up back in PA on a farmette. You also bought in a great area. I tried to convince my wife to find a job so we could live in that area when we were in grafton during her tufts days. Those were the days. She studied and I spent my time split between disc golf at buffumville dam and night runs to the canal.

Raven 04-02-2008 12:08 PM

Thanks Zimmy
 
i have paid my dues so to speak and now what most people would consider to be back breaking work
