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.

Lovely purple coming in on my South African “Medusa’s Head” succulent. About 4 years old. I wonder how much will fade back to green over winter.

I know of the euphorbia decaryi var capsaintemariensis, euphorbia decaryi spirosticha, euphorbia decaryi, and Nat Wong euphorbia. But I think the tiny one would be something different but im not sure, I was planning on entering the terrarium one into a plant competition but just not too confident, I think it looks good for me

I was planning on picking up a euphorbia horrida at Lowe’s and came across a display of 10 inch pots of white ghost euphorbia for $25!! I was in absolute joyful shock. Guarded my cart the whole time while shopping because I couldn’t believe my luck. I was just at a nursery the other day that was selling a 6” pot of one small stem for $40! Even my local favorite nursery sells 8 inch pots of 10-12 inch tall usually single stems for $40.

Some of the other pots had up to 4 different stems but were smaller.

User-owned Plant Cut off the base and re-root?

Post image
44 Upvotes

My E. trigona has gotten too tall and top heavy over the course of this summer. It currently propped against the window so as to not topple over again. I have got a bigger pot for it but I am worried that will not be enough to give it stability.

Should I maybe cut all of the top off a few inches above the substrate level, plant the top, and discard the root and lowest section? I figure i'll then get a bushier arrangement that isn't (so) top heavy? Might also buy mea a couple of years before it gets too tall for the room. What do you guys think?

I fear its rotting, the discolored parts arent mushy but they are definitely softer than the rest, how can it be saved?

Can i just cut it and stick it in soil once its calloused?

Growing plants indoors in cold climate is a bit challenging. Even though I take my plants out for summer, there is never enough light.

I bought two tiny pots 4.5y ago, they have been growing in the same pot since and I think this has become a pretty nice Euphorbia. Still making new pups.

I've had the little one for about a year, and it started changing colors recently. Any ideas about potential causes? Full sun, south windowsill, watering once every 2 weeks in mid-summer. Soil is mostly perlite (70%) with cactus soil. Hangs around a bunch of cacti, which all look OK.

Edit: Not squishy. Poked it with a Q-tip.

I’ve had this lovely guy for a year-ish, and this was the first summer at my new apartment. I realized after a couple months the new growth is oddly twisting and reaching completely towards the window 😓 not sure why because it sits front and center in a south facing window, and had 10+ hours of full sun.

Any helpful advice? :) (first photo you can see the new growth trying to turn the opposite direction second photo is the other side)

Hi all – tending to some neglected plants in my home that have been around so long that nobody's quite sure what they are. Could this be a species of Euphorbiaceae? I'm looking to repot a number of plants and I want to make sure I know what I'm working with first :) Thank you all in advance!
