How to fertilize Cat Tails Euphorbia

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cat Tails Euphorbia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Should I trim my pencil cactus? It’s very leggy and some of the branches feel like dead weight/floppy and I wonder if they’re preventing new growth. There is new growth but it’s slower than previous growing seasons. Any tips on trimming would be appreciated! #Euphorbia #PencilCactus
