Positive palmbob On Mar 19, 2009, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

attractive drooping/ sprawling Euphorbia 'made' for pot culture they way the 'branches' pour over the edges of the pot and hang down. This plant is very similar in appearance to Euphorbia hamata, but is a bit smaller, less robust and has non-hooked tubercles (hamata has hooked tubercles). There are other minute anatomical differences but they are beyond my training...
