In House Euphorbia Cactus Falling Over

[cactusbill]

Hey guys!

Hoping you can help. I have tried to check the forums first but can't see any advice, so hope it's ok to start a new post!

New cactus owners, and have a Euphorbia Cactus in a clay pot about 110cm / 43inches tall (see pic), however he started leaning / falling over! The soil we're using was recommend by the shop and it's dry and now he's started leaning doesn't seem to hold him so well. He's propped up against a wall at the moment and is doing OK, but we wondered if there's anything we should do in the pot or another way to get him to stand on his own?

Any advice would be awesome!

Cheers,

Looks like a newly re-potted plant in soft peaty mix... I would use some support - rods, ropes or rocks until it establishes its root system.

These home-grown Euphorbia-s often reach the ceiling and then rot at the base. After you root some of the younger stems and everything starts again. Done with those long time ago.
