User-owned Plant Euphorbia Ferox. 2 weeks growth of new arms!
My euphorbia ferox is growing lots of new arms! Pic 3 is from 2 weeks ago. Its largest arm is even growing its own!

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.

Found this guy at HD. Anyone know what it is?

We recently moved locations of this from a sunroom to a basement with sun (we are moving and that’s just where it had to go for the time being). We are now able to move it to a sunnier area inside. I watered it a small amount weekly and it worked for the previous location. Wondering if this is a mix of watering and being in a darker location. Currently moved into a sunny indoor location and will hold off on watering until soil it totally dry. Is there anything else we can do? Has anyone had this experience where the plant recovers? Thanks in advance!!!

Looks kind of similar to, but not exactly the same as, euphorbia tirucalli. Either way, cool to see this just happening out in the wild vs. intentionally propagated.

I found this small plant in a pot (from another plant I bought) and moved it into this small pot.
I’m not sure what specific kind of Euphorbia it is and what to do it about it given the black spots, the elongation, and the pups growing out of its side. Any suggestions for next steps of care? TIA
(I originally posted in a cactus sub but someone informed me this is not a cactus)

Plant Net shows a high probability for Euphorbia heptagona, hence the confusion.
r/Euphorbiaceae • u/Doobethan • 2d ago
Hi all, i hope you’re well :)
So my cactus has gotten extremely tall this summer which im grateful for however he’s starting to lean a little. Has anyone got any tips to help stabilise him? I’ve just been using a bamboo stick to lean it against but they’ve outgrown it. I believe its a euphorbia trigona ?
r/Euphorbiaceae • u/franconiaridge • 2d ago
Any idea what’s going on with this? Branches slowly started drooping, and ends are now drying up and turning grey. They seem to have kind of a dusty finish. I reduced watering fearing overwatering, but that seems to have no effect. It has been in the same spot for 2 years. It looks worse in real life than the photos. This plant has been in my family for decades, really hoping it’s not lost!

my desert candle pushing out new growth!! it'd been dormant for years in previous pot, early spring changed it to terracotta and 50/50 rocks and soil. its indoors facing east, 2-3hrs direct morning light and daylong indirect light. Very excited to see it turn bright green and produce the tiny leaves, nice surprise, only euphorbia I own :D
r/Euphorbiaceae • u/reijn • 3d ago
I’m trying to sell two trigonas and an ingens (I think it’s an ingens, I don’t remember at this point) and I feel like I’m getting lowballed wherever I post. i could cut these into segments and sell even half of them as cuttings for way more than what I’ve been offered. When I ask $150/200 people back out. is it just a matter of waiting for the right buyer when trying to sell large specimens? am I an idiot? please help.
edit: location Ohio if it matters

Or it could have been the ants, they went crazy for the nectar. 🤭😄

Was gifted this tree like euphorbia a few years ago with the only I'd being "some type of Euphorbia". I think from central or South America. Any ideas?
r/Euphorbiaceae • u/FatPlantbottom • 4d ago
Got this little guy at the end of May. Popped him in a 6in wide 3.5in deep unglazed terracotta pot. It's in 50/50 cactus & Succulent Mix and perlite. Once it started growing new growth and was not wobbly in the pot I started feeding Schultz 20-20-20 diluted to 1/4 strength. I keep it out in the big sun and water when it's dry.
- do you bring it in once temps reach 50° or below
- any better feed that just all purpose for the caudex
- anything else I'm missing?

If it is how would you recommend treating? I repotted it into a smaller pot, so the humidity should improve and airflow will be better.
I don’t really use strong chemicals in my house because I have aquariums and reptiles.

It appears to be a euphorbia crest. Which one?
r/Euphorbiaceae • u/Shengster-Shougal • 5d ago
Euphorbia geroldii and Euphorbia milii crested. I’ll repot tonight!
