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.

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

Are the yellow leaves normal on this plant? I just got it and I don’t know a lot about it. #Euphorbia

Losing her…help please!!! Just moved her to direct SE window she was about 3 feet away before. Soil is still very moist from last watering. Thinking I should repot her and get the wet soil out of her roots. #Euphorbia

Poinsettia Rescue My husband brought this Poinsettia home from his office. It was headed for the trash and he intercepted it. @StarryKentia I've got me one and will do my best to keep it alive. I don't have a very good track record! Regardless I'm up for a challenge! However, I'm getting conflicting care instruction. One says direct sunlight the other says direct sunlight will burn its leaves? Which is it? 🙏💚😊 #poinsettia #rescueplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #euphorbia

This cutting has been in a pot since probably August. It wasn’t looking well so I took it out of the soil. There are no roots yet and the base is brown, thoughts? #Euphorbia

Plant ID help! Hi Greg Gang, I’m loving the process of discovery in the garden beds of this new rental. I was trimming the maidenhair ferns and discovered a couple of plants with tiny little pink blooms along with a mystery bulb. Could the bloomy plant be euphorbia milii? 🤔🤔🤔 #PlantID #plantidentification #mysteryplant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OtherPeoplesPlants #Euphorbia #Bulb

Hi! I have had this plant for years and I noticed it’s looking a bit whiter than usual what should I do? #Euphorbia

Pot type: I am moving my Noel from the plastic pot she came into a regular pot. It is recommended that I use a porous pot. I have a clay pot that is glazed on the outside. Is that good enough, or should I use terracotta? #Euphorbia
