How to fertilize Euphorbia Polyacantha

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 Euphorbia Polyacantha after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Sunburn? Could this be caused by sunburn? I just have it for a week now. On the other side of the plant I don’t see those spots. Will they go away over time? #Euphorbia #SucculentSquad #CactusClique

Big box store planting #Euphorbia Bought this cactus and repotted when it seemed to be potted too deeply and turns out it was 3-4in too deep! Will the light green parts (that were buried) recover?

Are red leaves sun stress? I have my crown of thorns under a grow light and some of the top leaves are reddish. Is this from the grow light? And is it okay? It seems okay otherwise, so I’m hoping that’s all it is 😅 #Euphorbia #sunstress #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
