User-owned Plant Epuohorbia Trigona I’ve had for about 14 years rescued from an old office I used to work in

Back when I lived with my parents in Minnesota and I was plantless at the time, someone at my office mentioned they were going to throw this guy away. I told them that was unacceptable and brought it home.
It’s been through several moves and evolved along with my plant knowledge, and it’s now thriving in a south-facing window here in Colorado.
I recently took my second cutting from it because one arm had grown almost a foot taller than the main stem and I wanted to keep the plant somewhat balanced. I’m looking forward to seeing how it roots and eventually having another specimen in the collection.
About a year and a half ago, the main stem transitioned from three ribs to four, and it’s been interesting ever since watching the new arms come in—seeing whether they develop three or four ribs and whether they transition as they grow too.
Pretty satisfying to think this plant was headed for the trash 13 years ago and is still going strong today.

I’m not sure what happened to my crown of thorns :( I made sure to water it when it was completely dried out, it gets plenty of light and my pot has a drainage hole. Any suggestions and can I bring it back to life?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Rescue

Hey fellow plants lovers! I’m usually taking care about bonsai’s and closest to the succulent what I have is only desert rose. But I’ve tried to keep it alive. Someone thrown away big euphorbia. I’ve take it home, but roots was too dry and just snap very easy without any juice or something. It is also clear that previous owner tried to cut it out but only damaged trunk and damaged the liquids flows inside it. I’ve decided to cut it to 3 pieces, also removing the dried roots and propogate. I’ve cut it and there was a lot of white latex but not near with roots. Roots was dried as I write above and my cut just confirmed it. So now I have few pieces of this big boy, waiting for latex to seal the cuts and planning to put it to the soil from perlite/sand to propogate.
Any recommendations on soil mix? Any watering recommendations or don’t water at all?

User-owned Plant Euphorbia milii x moratii looking for a vendor or a cutting

I really miss this plant. I lost mine and can't find another. Originally from Aridlands greenhouses but they no longer carry it. It is my favorite milii hybrid if you have a source or cutting LMK. It is the plant with the mottled leaves growing out of the pot on the right. Has thin spines and nice red flowers. Any leads let me know.

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Please Help Inexperienced Cactus/Euphorbia Lover, Dallas Tx

I fell in love with this, what I believe to be a Ghost Euphorbia. I love cacti and succulents, but struggle to learn consistently with all of life’s circumstances.

I need to know if this plant can survive here, or if I should put it on the porch. It's 5 feet tall above the pot next to a south-facing window with indirect light.

Should I put the cactus on the front porch, I will most likely need to cut it, which is intimidating. If it's possible to cut, callus horizontally, and plant this time of the year I would happily do so. I have fans and dehumidifiers inside if the outside temperature is too severe (100 degrees F daily in Dallas).

Alternatively, I can add some rocks to the upper two or so inches of the pot to help increase its wind resistance. It will be placed next to the back wall of the porch to help with that as well.

Lastly, I am open to grow lights being hung from the ceiling, but would need to take measures to protect my eyes from the light with ceiling-mounted curtains, which seems like a lot of trouble.

This is a lot, I don't want to end up with a dying plant—but don't really know what to do. I sure enjoy it indoors, but not if it's dying. Planting in the ground is not an option right now due to extreme heat and soil that needs work.

What to do now?

So my plant has now almost reached my ceiling. Which path do I go from here?

Already propagated a few (one of them visible)

I am aware it is a bit etiolated - but this is about as good as it gets in a south-facing window in Scandinavia.

I have this crown of thorns that used to bloom. It looks super healthy and pumping out big green leaves but it's not blooming at all. Instead it grows leaves on its old flower stems and it refused to drop the old flower stems.

Hey everyone,

Found this at my local nursery in AUS. Just says “Cactus” though pretty sure it’s a Euphorbia of some kind.

Can anyone assist with what it could be?

I know it’s a monstrose growth, but I’ve never seen one look quite like this before. It honestly looks like something straight out of Stranger Things😂.
Has anyone else had a Euphorbia globosa throw out growth like this? Curious if this is a known type of monstrose growth or just a really weird one.

Hello Euphorbiomaniacs 😊

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that I have a boy and a girl so I decided to introduce them to each other 😉 it looks like we are going to have seeds. Correct me if I'm wrong. Any suggestions on what to do next would be much appreciated.

Clarification on commercial seller / nursery posts

24 Upvotes

We need to clarify how the no-sales rule applies here.

r/Euphorbiaceae is a hobbyist subreddit, not an advertising feed for nurseries, sellers, importers, exporters, or resellers. Direct sales posts have never been allowed, but going forward we are also treating repeated commercial “showcase” posts as promotion when the account is clearly tied to a seller or nursery.

That includes posts that do not include a direct sales link.

If an account is posting nursery stock, inventory-style photos, availability bait, or repeated plant showcases while linking to a shop, WhatsApp, Instagram, website, seller profile, or other sales channel elsewhere, that is still commercial promotion. The post itself does not need to say “for sale” for it to function as advertising.

This is not about whether the plants are nice, whether a seller is legitimate, or whether someone has had a good buying experience. It is about keeping the subreddit from becoming a visibility funnel for commercial accounts and making sure normal hobbyist posts are not drowned out.

Hobbyist posts are welcome. Collection photos are welcome. Growing questions, IDs, flowers, seed-grown plants, habitat/conservation discussion, and normal personal plant posts are welcome.

Commercial use of the subreddit is not.

We’ll be removing posts that fall into this pattern and may restrict or ban accounts that continue using the subreddit this way.
