I'd like help identifying my cactus please.

Post by jerryjerrold »

This cactus has been in my family forever. My mom has a piece, my aunt, my sister. All thriving and growing differently, subtle differences. I cut off pieces to give to friends. It's a big deal. I know my grandfather had it since he was in his 30s and he's been gone a long time. This thing is old. Any help is appreciated.

Agreed - and it's not a cactus, by the way.

LOL I had the same thing happen to me I went to the local nursery and picked one of these guys up thinking it was a nice cactus. Get home and look it up to find out it is a euphorbia. Nice plant none the less!
