New baby I couldn’t leave behind. I’ll repot tonight.

I received this euphorbia from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a collection of someone who passed away. The friend of a friend said it's monstrous horrida but they weren't sure and I wanted to see what y'all thought. Any ideas?

I got a finger sized cutting just labeled Euphorbia a few years back. Tossed it into a pot and now I've got a bush. What exactly is this guy? Most Euphorbias don't do well for me out here in the subtropics but this one is just going crazy.

I got this super cool euphorbia mammillaris variegata a few weeks ago. Today I repotted her in a really nice gritty cactus mix (sol soils). Hopefully she’s cool with that. 🤞

She’s my first mamm and I want her to thrive!

What do you look for to gauge when she needs water?

Any other advice??

Thanks for your help!!

What the title says. I believe obesa and the medusoid Euphorbias are closely related enough that it is in theory possible, however, I want to know if this has been attempted before and above all else if it has yielded any actual results

Hi everyone, my euphorbia enopla looks like this. Hasn’t been growing for a while. This is now winter where I am but even before that it didn’t look very healthy. What should i do? I tempted to cut some branches to propagate but i am afraid they are still too small and wouldn’t make it. Thank you

I reposted after the edit button wasnt working. I've been calling this an African euphorbia (for years) and a friendly post sent me on a journey on why this is a E. royleana. Thanks!

I took a piece of this off of a street tree 4 years ago. It's one of my favourite plants, and I have many. And yes I know it's not a cactus. I've already been corrected.

leafing nicely in the mid-monsoon season. It's recovered/ growing from being potted (at least 15yrs) then placed in the ground.

This is a seedling from a hand pollinated pair
in my collection. I believe a slug got to the apical meristem tissue causing the termination. What do you guys think about the strange new growth? Hard to see in the photo but it also appears to have white variegation on the stem.

Some pick off, is alcohol or captain jacks best for this?

Hello! My partner has had this cactus for about a year, cut from a much larger plant. Today, I noticed what appears to be some rot forming above a tan spot. I dug down a bit, and it appears to only be above the tan spot, not below it.

My guess is that since the tan spot was at the soil line, it was in contact with too much moisture. If I keep the tan spot above the soil line, is the rest of the plant going to be okay, since it appears localized to this edge? My hope is that it will just scar along that edge.

I can take better photos in the morning. It's usually near the window of our sunniest room.

My fully variegated Euphorbia Abdelkuri cv. Damask. This is not an edited picture, most are red from full sun, but mine is orange and pink. It is grafted because this cultivar cannot survive otherwise. I am happy to provide mods proof this is my legit euphorbia, if helpful.

This beauty arrived today & I’m stoked. 💚🌵

Hard to find any information or images regarding knuthii seedlings. Wanted to see if anyone else has grown them from seed and make sure I’m doing things right. Don’t mind the Melocactus seedlings 😆

I've been rehabilitating this euphorbia in the back of the greenhouse I work at but I honestly have no clue what it is. The owner gives me a different answer every time I ask him. The googs thinks it's poisonii but I'm not convinced. I'll take the input of experts on this one.

Before everyone starts telling me it's getting watered too much, trust me it's on my radar, I can't do anything about it though. The owner is very stubborn and insistent that we water the piss out of the succulents despite everything turning yellow. I try very hard to hide this guy he's so cool!

Thank you in advance!

Survey says: E. Neriifolia! Morphology matches perfectly based off of what I can see from pictures online. Thank you all for the help!

Could I get some help diagnosing my E. sotetsu kirin please? Why are the lower leaves of the main stem turning yellow and falling off? It has an excellent draining substrate and I earlier unpotted it to inspect the roots, which are fine (nothing mushy) and growing healthy new white roots. Recently I saw what looked like spider webs between some of the leaves but I washed them off under running water and started applying abamectin (suspecting spider mites) — how is the prognosis? I recently moved this plant to a stronger grow light shelf with cooling fans, which aren't blowing directly at the plant, but it didn't have this yellowing issue before the move. I wonder if it's a water issue. Interestingly, this plant has a mutated pup (pic 5)!
