Your plant is not a cactus. Its a Euphorbia.
The weed is some sort of Acacia. The bipinnate foliage is the juvenille form. http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/acacia.html "Bernhard Kuemel" wrote in message ... Hi sbb!

You lack imagination, Roger.
Its already too big to be Mimosa pudica and the bipinnate foliage is too large. Like I already said, the weed is some sort of Acacia. The bipinnate foliage is the juvenille form. http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/acacia.html Also the other plant is not a cactus. Its a Euphorbia. "Roger Whitehead" wrote in message ...

It looks like some kind of Acacia. Give it more light to get less stringy growth. You won't be able to tell the species until it blooms. Look up Acacia to see if it matches. Does it have any thorns?

The poster is in Austria, so I wouldn't expect any of the Australian Wattles, but if the plant was obtained from a nursery (prolly, it is grafted), who knows what may have been growing there to drop seeds into their stock. To me it looks like Silk Tree, Albizzia julibrissin. http://www.vialattea.net/esperti/bio/mimosa/ But it may be a Caesalpinia as well. Sean |

It could any one of a number of Acacia or Acacia relatives. The seedling is
a bit etiolated and with atypical juvenile foliage. He never said where he got his "cactus" which is actually a Euphorbia. BTW, you can't graft Fabaceae onto Euphorbia.

Huh? I thought some acacias were always bipinnate. I have a bonsai grove of sweet acacia, A. farnesiana. Some of the trees are about 5 years old. They have never been anything but bipinnate. I looked at some pictures on the Web. Photos of A. farnesiana, and some USDA drawings of several acacias, all show bipinnate foliage.

Did you actually use the link and see for yourself or are you just letting
your fingers do the wondering? Here we go again, just in case you missed it the first time. http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/acacia.html "Iris Cohen" wrote in message ...

Question: did you read it? Or for that matter know anything about Acacia? PvR |

Oh sure Rinkytink, we all know that YOU are intimately familiar with all the
tree Acacias that are found in that dry veld of the Netherlands. That is when you are not busy wrestling with lions, tigers and rogue elephants in your underwear!!! The point was that the website does mention Acacia species that retain bipinnate foliage in their adult state. When do you think you will attain an adult state, if ever?

ts already too big to be Mimosa pudica and the bipinnate foliage is too
large. I agree. Sir, where did you get your Euphorbia? That may give us a clue as which acacia you have. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Yogi Berra |

Dear Lady Iris!
Iris Cohen wrote: ts already too big to be Mimosa pudica and the bipinnate foliage is too large. I agree. Sir, Umm, I'm not sure, if I am a Sir where did you get your Euphorbia? The daughter of my girlfriend brougt it home. I'll ask her. Ok, it is from a "Holland Blumenmarkt" (a brand name for a plant supermarket, literally "Holland Flowermarket"). That may give us a clue as which acacia you have. I'm fine with knowing it's an acacia. But we can explore this further if you like. It looks like some kind of Acacia. Give it more light to get less stringy growth. You won't be able to tell the species until it blooms. Look up Acacia to see if it matches. That was nice, suggesting more light rather than calling it a weed. If we keep the plants together, would the acacia kill the euphorbia? Since we won't probably move the pot to a brighter spot, we thought of separating the plants. The acacia roots have come long out of the inner pot hole and are now in the water in the outer pot. We'd probably have to break the inner pot and drop the soil of both plants roots to separate them. Does that sound risky? Does it have any thorns? Actually, yes. There are some at some forks. They are soft yet. On top of some forks there are nectar drops. One had a honey like consistency and another one dried out. On http://bksys.at/bernhard/img/x14/-gallery.html there are closeups. Thanks everyone for your help. Bernhard |
