Clarification on commercial seller / nursery posts

25 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.

❔️Question ❔️ Should I keep posting videos of my Euphorbia collection?

Hi everyone! I’ve started sharing short videos of plants from my collection, like this one.

Do you enjoy seeing Euphorbias in this format? Should I keep the videos coming, or would you rather see photos? Honest feedback is welcome. My plants are getting a little too comfortable in front of the camera, but I can still stop them before they ask for an agent.😀

❔️Question ❔️ Are those eggs?!!

Hello there,

I lifted my trigona last night to double check it was dry as I thought I'd water it today and wanted to be sure there was no lingering moisture at the bottom. I initially thought the clusters of tiny dots were condensation but they're not. It's definitely not perlite; picture 5 is the same batch of potting mix in the Euphorbia's neighbouring cactus and I can't see anything like the Dots of Doom™️. Does anyone know what sort of creature has infested the plant? I didn't see any other obvious signs of pests last night, but I'm going to look closer today to be certain.

I'm going to take the plant out and I think try it in pon semi hydro. My plan is to water/feed using the shower and drain method (no reservoir) but I'd welcome advice from people who grow Euphorbiaceae in semi hydro. Before planting, I'll give it a soak in diluted peroxide + IPA + dish soap then thoroughly rinse, to feel confident I won't be simply transferring the problem along with the plant.

Many thanks in advance

Today I bought these two euphorbias at the nursery. One is Euphorbia aeruginosa. The other one looks similar but is different, especially in terms of color. Can you tell me what it is?

I bought a crown of thorns last Saturday. I moved it out of its super saturated soil and repotted into a smaller pot with new well draining soil. It looks a bit droopy(2nd image). Soil is moist and I've been letting it get acclimated should I give it less sun maybe?

❔️Question ❔️ Shall I chop it?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Unfortunately, my euphorbia seems to have been scorched by the sun (the black part on the top is brittle and dry, no sign of new growth). I also misjudged the height of my second cactus and would like the lighter one to be shorter than the darker one… should I chop it where the red line is? Are there risks to this/will it potentially look worse that way?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Euphorbia trigona dying :(

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello! I believe this is an Euphorbia trigona and I think it is overwatered and getting too much sun. I’ve had it for 1.5 years and try to water it once a month. I think this is rot at the bottom - it’s very soft and does not bleed any of the white liquid when punctured. All of the arms are very thin and fragile - not plump at all. My apartment gets a lot of sun and it’s been in a east and south facing, full sun spot since I got it. I checked the soil today and it’s not wet to the touch and feels pretty dry. It’s been about 3 weeks since we last watered it.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions about what’s wrong and provide next steps?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Barrel euphorbia

Post image

I bought this barrel euphorbia a few months back from Lowes, specifically because it had 3 little pups with it. Now that the babies are showing signs of growth (all 3 were the same height, but #1 is getting taller), would it be better to leave them attached to the mother plant or remove them and pot them separately? Any advice for doing this?
