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

If I transplant this succulen do I need to water it at the same time and change my watering Schedule.

Adopted a new plant 💚 Hi community 👋 Joyful to share I adopted a "Nochebuena" ☺️ It was my very first plant a year ago but it only lasted half year 🥲🥹 This is my 2nd try 🙆, hope I can give it a peacefully and happy life 🙂↕️ I'm still learning about plants 🧐 and since the dead of my old "Nochebuena" I've been more in love with them 💚🌱 My 13 plants are really its legacy 💪 My new plant is pretty dusty, any advice on how I can clean its leaves? I've heard milk with water does the trick 🤔 #Euphorbia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers

My plants just grow straight up, one is taller than me. I have found pruning leaves a permanent scar. How do you get them to be more bushy? #Euphorbiabicompacta #Euphorbia

I have never kept a poinsettia and I really want to keep this one. Any and all tips please! It will be inside with grow lights. #Euphorbia

What can I use to fertilize this big guy. He is looking slightly puney lately! #Euphorbia

Is it finished? I guess I'll post all my problem plants. Now my euphorbia Crown of Thorns seems like she's going through it. Leaves feel a little leathery and don't look happy. Couple brown spots here and there. I only water every once in a while. More light maybe? She's in a south window. Thanks! #euphorbia #crownofthorns #succulentsquad #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

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
