Cactus Update 🪴🌵🏜️ This is spinster my ‘Euphorbia Spiralis’ (I think that’s the correct ID) Like other slow growing plants of mine, I never think they are growing until I compare pictures over time. I thought maybe I wasn’t caring for it correctly, or it wasn’t happy. But every couple months I would notice a brighter green shade at the top of the plant. I also watered and treated her today with #ArberBioFungicide & #ArberBioInsecticide 😊🌱🧪 Here are the dates for the pics. 1- August 21 2- August 31 3- September 11 4- December 18 #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #GrowLights #BeforeAndAfter #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Grows very fast and requires very little watering or care on my part. Just gives full sun and sometimes water. I can go a long time without watering again

Really unique looking cactus but a little on the dangerous side.
