leaning euphorbia
Random plant phenomena I noticed this week: the euphorbia I inherited from my parents appears to be branching out where it is leaning against a fish tank.
Edited to add: I think it is a Euphorbia Leuconeura; it doesn't have big showy flowers or anything. Mostly it grows and seems to be doing well despite my relatively neglectful habits. It has thrown off babies before, which are now repotted, but none recently; I think because all the flowery bits (which line the stem next to the leaves) are no longer directly over the pot. Although now that I'm reading about it online, apparently it shoots seeds!
About a year or two ago we moved and it ended up in its current location, leaning slightly on a fish tank for support. This week I noticed it seems to be throwing off several branches where the fish tank is!
Youtube video of seed expulsion!
Random extra: I've had these porch roses for about 2 years now as well. They seem to do pretty well when I remember to water them consistently; currently they are very leggy, I suspect because I had not watered in a while (I was a little worried about frost but now it's warmed up so I just don't have an excuse!)
