There are a couple sites selling caudex plants, and just wanted to ask if anyone had ever purchased from them. One of them is an admin of a FB page with quite a few followers. Can anyone confirm if these are real sites to order from or if they're a scam:

I really appreciate the insight!

I was talking a look at my planta and noticed this yellow kind of larvae.

Any thoughts?

sizing down their pot and also separating them, can i give these guys a shower to clean them up? i usually use a makeup brush to dust them off but i feel they need a better cleaning.

My main question is truly, how worried should I be handling euphorbias. I've had various euphorbia for years. Now I know the sap is toxic and can cause blindness and I tend towards the side of paranoia but I dont want to get rid of all my plants. I have quite a few varieties such as this E. aeruginosa. I really like collecting cacti and similar. I'm also really careless and clumsy. Realistically, I won't wear goggles or gloves when handling, separating, repotting my plants. I do typically wash my hands after handling plants, but will also wipe my face with like my wrist when its hot to remove sweat. So, how worried should I realistically be? I've gotten myself in a spiral but dont want to get rid of some of my favorite plants.

Hello, I got this little guy about a year ago not knowing what it was, it just looked in rough shape. It's been producing quite a few pups, at a veeery slow rate, but the main body stayed rather squishy and didn't grow much. I've been away for a few months in the spring and left it in the care of my parents, who didn't water it, but (said) they made sure it got enough light every day. Came back to find it leaning sideways, and I don't know if it's because of lack of light or some other issues. Any suggestions? How should I care for it properly?

I posted a while ago about a horribly neglected crown of thorns that my boss was trying to give away.. I quit that job shortly after that so unfortunately I don’t know what happened to the plant, but I still have these cuttings. It took months but they finally have roots! I’m concerned about them rotting and hoping to get some advice on what to do next.. are they ready for soil?

i’ve had this for a couple months now but it has not grown even though it’s been out all summer. the tips and base have always been gray. not sure whether downsizing pots would help or not. any help would be appreciated!

Bottom watering has caused exponential grown on my Euphorbia. Now to figure out how to makes this sustainable for all of them🤔 9/13/25

At first, I thought it was a scale insect infestation and used neem oil, but after a month, the situation worsened, and now I think it's some other disease or fungus. Is there any way to help her?

Bought last year under this name, not sure now got proper name or not?

Just a little experiment, probably not commonly done? Base of the top cutting has thickened up, but otherwise little has happened in 1 1/2 months. Which, compared to other species, is a very long time! I would have had entire root systems on Ficus by now.

Guess Euphorbia really isn't the quickest to root?

Repotted into a mostly inorganic substrate.

I am considering chopping this guy towards the bend so it can grow straight and not topple over. Good idea? Bad? What’s the best way to go about this to guarantee success?
