Thanks for your input but even Dave's, doesn't give me what I need. Example.... I bought a Euphorbia capsaintemariensis from Desert Garden that I promptly killed. I looked on this form for info. Did not find this on exactly but find PlantFiles: Euphorbia / Euphorbia decaryi var. capsaintemariensis. A picture by palmbob was on the side so I knew I was on the right track!

No where does it say not to water in the winter or how much to water it. So I watered it like every other week about 4 oz. It rotted.

Dave's says that can propagate it form a leaf or seeds but doesn't tell you HOW to do that. And when I have asked how to do something on this form I am almost always referred back to the PlantFiles that doesn't tell me what I want to know (((ie: care of the plant, propagating the plant, and if possible where the seeds are in the plant))). So I am full circle. Is there another place I should be looking on this form for the info I am seeking?

Thanks
