The points of the leaves of this Euphorbia are turning yellow and brown. Too much or too little water or light?

Looks like a humidity thing. Leaves on my plants yellow on the tips during winter because of the dryer air. If it gets black spots and yellows then its a fungus. Are you sure that is a euphorbia? Looks like a Adenium.

It looks more like an Adenium to me too. Has it every flowered for you? Regardless, leafy Adeniums and Euphorbias tend to drop their leaves this time of year (assuming you are in the Northern Hemisphere). I suspect it is just going dormant.

Nothing wrong with Adeniums losing leaves. All normal. They are deciduous.
