i looked it up and many sources say this type of euphorbia likes partial sun so my guess would be sunburn!
@WildlingWitch The leaf yellowing, in this case, was probably a result of the soil getting so dry that the leaves drooped before subsequently perking up again. It is important not to overwater your Euphorbia, but also to avoid letting it get so dry that the leaves droop.

The flowers need relatively a lot of sun, but not direct south sun (in that case the leaves turn red and are smaller). Without a sufficient sun the leaves turn yellow. Only a few of our Jewels make new branches and we still do not know how to support this branch growing.
@strawberrymoon ahhh! I can see why i recently moved it to the windowsill thinking it needed more light. I'll place it back a bit! Thanks!
@KikisOasis oh good one! I did skimp on the watering the last weeks. I'll try and prevent it getting too dry. And i'll give it a more suitable spot. Thank you!!!
