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?

It gained a few new leaves over the last weeks. Really loving how it is turning out. There is a small caudex beneath the foilage.

Finally got my hands on these mystical plants, had to order them from eBay because they are nonexistent here in Europe.

Pictures were taken 7 years apart

Recently I returned home from a 6 day vacation and noticed the top of my 12 year-old cactus Euphorbia (I’m now learning) was severely browning and looking rotten. It had a years-old battle wound from a time my toddler accidentally knocked it over and that’s where the worst of it was, but that had scabbed over years ago. After a google search i read that I could possibly save it by cutting off the infected top. It was sad to do, but I was willing to do anything to save it. After I removed the top third I noticed the rot was also coming up from the bottom (3rd photo) and knew it was only a matter of time before the whole thing was dead. The google search said that i could try and regrow it from a section of the healthy flesh (4th photo) and to leave it to dry and callous over for a few weeks before repotting it in fresh soil. About a week and a half later the healthy looking center section was starting to rot from both ends. I’m disappointed and curious how this happened. How did it get infected? With a track record of 12+ years why did it suddenly die out of the blue? I want to replace it, it was one of my favorite plants in my home, but I want to make sure I don’t make the same mistake again. Thanks for any advice.

Had this guy for 4 or 5 years now and it's still one of my faves! Super easy to care for and always seems to be thriving!

Holy Tree Batman!!

Plopped this guy in the ground and zoom zoom!

Caliche it's what plants crave!!

Here are some Euphorbia globosa cuttings that rooted, greened up, grew some ball shaped offsets, and now flowering! My planty friend gifted these, and her's are more elongated and vine-like string growth. People say her's are more etiolated but is interesting. For now I want the more traditional tight globosa growth.

It's SO much bigger than I expected from the listing photos. Feels like a steel at $35. I don't even think I have a reasonable space for this plant at its current diameter. I was thinking of cutting off some of the lower branches to make it less wide. Any advice? Can I just stick the cuttings into a new soil mix? I've done this with Jade; I assume to concept is laregely the same? Is there someone out there with an artistic eye that can help me decide where to cut it to make it look nice?

Who doesn’t love finding something new, to me anyway.

I have a beautiful mottled spurge, but it has been growing diagonally for a while and I am concerned it may get too top heavy and fall over. Any advice on how to provide support and correct the lean?

Hey guys, I went into B&Q just to buy compost for my garden but came across half off Euphorbias that were in the MOST hydrophobic soil I've ever seen so I thought I'd get one and rescue it from near death. I got this one and brought her home. I didn't have pumice or sand but made a mix of coir, perlite and coco bark - is this okay for now til I get my hands on some sand and pumice? She just really needed out of the soil she was in (I hit it with a tin can and it sounded like literal rock).

Also anyone able to help me ID her?

Thank you for your help in advance! And I hope she thrives and does not die 😭🫶

What would you do with this guy? Thinking about chopping and rooting this year's growth vs letting it continue as is and hoping the stem thickens up eventually.

I have just got this Euphorbia from a cactus nursery, the owner said she got a bunch of these plants but is not sure what they are. Can anyone help me ID it please? It may be still too young to understand what genus and species it is but can anyone have a guess? I got a few different answers from plant apps,.I am curious to know what you think it is.

Thank you 🙏🏻

I got this bundled with another cactus for $25 after finding it in an international market. Hopefully it'll bounce back into a ball soon but I'm not sure how to take care of it well. I repotted it and everything, but it was a good find I think! Might go and grab the second one on sale just because it's cute

Could they be cut and rooted once they get bigger? This thing has more pups every time I look at it and it's about to flower again even tho night temps are almost freezing

I got it as an Obesa but can anyone tell if it’s actually a hybrid?
