Mystery Cactus- Can you help ID?
« on: September 04, 2013, 11:39:00 PM »
I got this as a cutting with some other stuff about two years ago. Plopped it in a pot and it seems to like it's gig. Haven't a clue what it is though.

I believe that is a Euphorbia Trigona.  Can you give me a picture from the top view. Then I can tell you for sure.

For sure. I'm 99.999999% sure it's Euphorbia Trigona. This is a very popular fast growing cactus in the euphorbia genus often sold at big box stores like home depot or lowes.
