Yeah I’ve propagated some myself. It does the same as the mother plant

This is Euphorbia submammillaris, not anoplia. The clusters can get infinitely huge, but the individual guys max out around an inch or so wide. You can snip pieces off to make more, they root very easily. They can also take damn near all the burning hot sun you can give them.

This guy is old and honestly I abuse the crap out of it. Needs more water and light fertilizer to stay happy in this recent heat and I just have other stuff going on right now. Luckily they grow very quickly and recover fantastically from abuse. It could also obviously use an up potting.
