Hello,
I have an 8' plus Euphorbia ingens that was planted on my walkway where it received mostly sun, some shade. I transplanted it into my yard into full sun. Unbeknownst to me (wasn't really watching), it became sunburned. Not knowing what to do, and not able to move it into shade, I have covered it with black plastic trash bags, so it is really a beautiful sight! How do I transition it so it does not continue to burn? It has been covered for the past 3 weeks or so. Thanks for any advise.

Re: Sunburned cactus help
Put some shade cloth over it, then gradually remove the cloth over the course of two weeks first in the mornings and evenings, then all day. Also, Euphorbia aren't cacti !
See my current wanted lists here: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~mdpillet/cr.html and http://www.u.arizona.edu/~mdpillet/en.html.

I know! I know!! But, this was the best and most reliable source of info. Same principle, right!?! I promise, I do have a lot of cacti and I do know the difference! PROMISE!!
