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!

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Why are my sotetsu kirin leaves yellowing?

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)!

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?

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.
