Is this normal? Please tell me i'm rightπ₯Ίπ
@SirLiquorice #euphorbia I don't understand why nobody notices this on reddit i mean the lower part of the euphorbia is light green and it is rising up to the deep green on top of the graft and it can be seen on the growlight that's above it. Has anyone see this happened before and please tell me the answer that is it going to be fine or not?π

Your euphorbia is not grafted on a dragon fruit as thatβs not a euphorbia. They are two different genera and thus incompatible. Itβs probably grafted on a E. ingens or E. canariensis, οΏΌ I donβt see anything dangerous in the change of color as long as the plant is firm, and the graft is taking. οΏΌ
This one is grafted. That green part is possibly a dragon fruit plant. They fused 2 different plants together and it is actually using the roots from the other plant to grow. Plants without chlorophyll need to be grafted to another plant to survive usually. Itβs very common to see certain plants that way. And sometimes they hide the graft under the soil so you cannot tell. Where other times they will keep the graft on the bottom large so you can see it.
Sometimes if grafted to a dragonfruit plant you will need to water more often since dragonfruit are more of a tropical type cactus. In my experience it is difficult to keep a plant grafted to a dragonfruit for long term. I donβt have a single plant alive still that Iβve ever owned that was grafted to a dragonfruit. Actually I donβt have any plants alive still that were grafted to anything. Myrtillo cacti can be much better to graft to long term.
@SirLiquorice @slayonium It is also firm so i don't know why it ended up like this. I've also searched up on google and the ai answer said:(No, the light green color above the deep green does not necessarily indicate rot. The color difference is more likely due to differences in growth conditions or a sign of an unsuccessful graft union where the scion is not receiving full nutrients.)
@SucculentBE Also the graft has small wrinkles and it's been 4 days when i first repot it should i water it tomorrow or wait until it's been seven days in a week?
@SucculentBE I put it back in that pot and just replace the soil with a grittier soil with perlite and lava rocks i'll wait for a few years to see if it's big enough to repot it this week i'm going to ask my mom to search a bigger pot for it in the meantime.
