I thought I would show you here my "Thai Giants". These are hybrids of Euphorbia lophogona x Euphorbia millii and are correctly named Euphorbia x lomi. The hybrids which originated in Thailand are called E. x lomi Poysean group. I like the large colorful bracts which measure somewhere between 1 and 2 inches ( depending on the amount of fertilizer), they make for very colorful and showy plants, some can reach in my hands ca. 5 feet in height. I keep the smaller plants in the greenhouse on the top-shelf, the larger plants in our sunroom.
These plants need a warm and sunny spot during the indoor season, I keep the soil somewhat moist but never soaking wet for long. All spend the Summer outside.
Here are some of the colors:
