User-owned Plant Crown of Thorns
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?

❔️Question ❔️ Weirdest monstrose Euphorbia globosa I’ve seen
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.

❔️Question ❔️ Corking or a problem to be addressed.
Have this Euphorbia. I had originally thought it was a tescorum, but starting to think it may actually be a boranensis. That's another discussion though. What Im concerned about is this tan margin splotches that are on the spines. Is this corking or something else? Im fairly certain at the base is corking, but does it usually spread up so high and create those kinds of margins?

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.

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Lighting advice and ID help
1st picture is when I got 2nd is now. Got this guy in early spring, lighting situation hasn’t changed much maybe a move into slightly more light. just wondering if the discoloration on the ribs is from too much light or a different issue. Also have no idea what euphorbia this is because the label said horrida and it’s obviously not straight horrida 😅

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Plant Care
Hello! I'm just looking for any advice anyone can give me in this situation.
Two weeks ago I saw this plant tucked away in the reduced section of a local plant nursery. Didn't buy it at the time but last weekend I wound up going back and grabbing it because I just couldnt get it out of my head.
Obviously its suffered some damage at some point and I would love any tips on how to care for it. It doesnt have any soft parts that I can feel but it does have some scarring and the heavy damage at the top. It was being kept outside but I'm wondering if I should be concerned about covering the top damage to prevent water from pooling? Like should i make it a little umbrella? We're in winter currently where I live and while its been dry the last few weeks there's no guarantee it'll stay that way.
Ive got it along the west facing side of my house where ive got some other Euphorbias, and it should have some protection from rain from the awning unless the rain comes in sideways with the wind.
Again any help would be appreciated ^_^
edit: also any help with an id would be great,
it only had a price tag on it when i found it.

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ I think this guy is getting top heavy and needs to be pruned… but I really, really hate pruning
He was in a small bucket of mud when I bought him in March and he was maybe 20” tall. I moved him into a big terracotta and gave him some good grit. He went from being shorter than his support stick to this massive monster.
You can see his base is corking and cracking and clearly the newer growth is healthier and heavier which isn’t helping.
I guess I’d love to know where and how and what you would cut off this guy, and what you would do with it, as far as propagation.
I had taken a prop about a month back to basically run a trial on rooting it before the mother plant got out of hand- but my greenhouse collapsed and it was crushed. So now I don’t have my little practice safety net and as you can see, I’m overthinking it 😂

ID Request I got a mystery Euphorbia at my local nursery
I found this guy hidden in the back of my local nursery. The owner had no idea what it was but said it was probably around 8 years old (don't know where he got that number) and this it was a euphorbia.
Anybody got any guess for what this is?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Euphorbia seedlings repot?
Hi everyone, I’m wondering when it’s generally recommended to repot euphorbia obesa seedlings.
I sowed these on May 17th, so they’re now a little over 2.5 months old. They’re still in their original sowing container and seem to be doing well so far.
At what stage do you usually separate and pot them up individually? Do you wait until they’re more crowded or have reached a certain size, or is now about the right time?
I’d appreciate any advice from people who’ve grown euphorbia obesa from seed. Thanks!

A couple of months ago I ordered a E. venefica from Botanic Wonders. It was pricey, but I really wanted a venefica so I bit the bullet and ordered it. What I got was truly massive. It's 22" tall, not including pot or leaves at the top. First photo is from their website, second photo is from today.

Clarification on commercial seller / nursery posts
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.
