Euphorbia Roots

This is an update to my Euphorbia post a few weeks ago here Frosty Euphorbias.  Not often does a cut flower without leaves root in water!  Usually they just die. Even a cutting WITH flowers won't root because it's thinking of making seeds from those flowers and not roots.    This Euphorbia Diamond Delight was so cute that I cut 2 stems to try it in one of my tiny bouquets 2 weeks ago. The roses and Zinnias have since decayed have been pulled out of the vase. But I left the Euphorbias in because they still looked good, almost the same as when I cut them. I noticed yesterday that there were ROOTS on both Euphorbia stems! I couldn't believe it! 



Today I pulled them out and planted them in a 4" pot. Wish me luck. It's a fabulous plant and I'd love more in my garden and to share with friends.

Do you propagate plants?

    Do you think an olla would be helpful in getting this to prosper in the ground?
