Question from
LESLEY ANNE WAGSTAFFE
I forgot to prune my euphorbia last autumn; so now i have some straggly old stems and some flimsy new ones and no flowers. Is it best to prune it now (Early May) anyhow, so the new shoots get a chance to get away. Help please!

Question from
Ineke Swallow
My Euphorbia wulfenii will be two years old this spring. The first year it had no flowers, last year only two and this year I am not too confident that it will get many more flowers. Any ideas what the cause could be? In size it has grown very big though..

Question from

Hi
I want to move this plant this year - it's flowering at the moment so I was going to move it when it had finished. I heard that they might sulk after being moved so was wondering if there was a particular time that it was best to move it to minimize any petulant behaviour!!
