| How big does a euphorbia trigona get if it is planted in the ground? I have a pot with three small ones in it which are busting out all over, but don't want them to take over with their spines etc. and be a menace Would it be better to move them to a bigger pot. Also do they have flowers. |

| Hi - I can't speak for QLD but in Sydney the biggest one I have ever seen was around 8' tall and 3' wide. They don't seem to spread laterally so I don't think it would be a problem - this is certainly the case in the cooler climate of Sydney. HTH -

Hi
Sounds about right I would have said 2 meters which is pretty close.

i would repot if i were u, or stick them in the garden, no restrictions in there, and good drainage hopefully.
has anyone ever seen a red variety?

My brother in Melbourne has had a fantastic specimen growing inside near a sky-light for a few years. It has had no colour change at all - it's still purply red and 3 to 4 foot high.
Hope my cutting grows as well!
Any-one else tried growing a red trigona inside? |
