How to fertilize Cat Tails Euphorbia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cat Tails Euphorbia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can someone please help me! My milk tree cactus is not doing good. It is not root rot. Idk if it’s the lighting or being spayed by gnat killer for indoor plants. #Euphorbia

This is my Crown or Queen of Thorns. I’ve done everything I’ve read about on how to take care of it but it continues to drop have yellow leaves and drop leaves. ??? I’m at a loss. I haven’t overwatered either. So I’m not sure what the deal is. Help! #Euphorbia

They’ve arrived 😍 Sorry for the terrible pics, but I will take better ones very soon! My white princess has a pink stripe 🥰 The only problems were my perle von Nurburg lost a leaf and looks thirsty (prop time) my Hoya had a bent stem which is already propped lol, this girl has 6 peduncles already 🥹 My begonia escargot is a little crispy on the edges. My euphorbia is perfect! My Melo has a brand new leaf ☺️ Welcome home my beautiful babies #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #NewPlants #PlantHaul #Philodendron #Begonia #Euphorbia #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #HoyaHangout

Any tips for cat tails cutting propigation? Poppy (a rescue from a friend) was UNDER-watered prior to potting these cuttings. 😥 I let the stems callous over and then plopped her in coco coir mixed with pumice. Since this is my first Euphorbia... I'm wondering how much sunlight and water the stems will need to root? 🤔 Currently I have her outdoors in a shaded area of my deck where she'll get bright light most of the day but only about 1-2 direct light around 11am-12pm. Thanks! #Euphorbia #succulentsquad #succulentlove #propagationstation #babyplants #rescueplants #plantaddict

Is this leaf texture normal? Plant appears otherwise healthy (no stem rot, etc) #Euphorbia
