Most crested euphorbias are created by grafting the crested Euphorbia lactea onto the rootstock of a different euphorbia, often Euphorbia neriifolia. If the rootstock starts growing, it will produce the normal stalk of that plant, which is much more vigorous than the crested portion.
Crested portions grow slowly due to their nature as a mutated crest, which can have a reduced amount of chlorophyll compared to non-crested varieties. This genetic mutation results in a less efficient conversion of sunlight into energy, and its slow growth rate is a natural characteristic of the plant. Additionally, its slow growth is influenced by its environment, especially entering winter dormancy.
I hope that makes sense. It is one AM here.
