Cool Euphorbias!
Loved all including the Monadenium
Thank you so much!!
In Brazil, the place you are, do you get a lot of rainfall? If yes, how do you care for your plants?
I believe mmcavall has a greenhouse that he/she uses to protect their plants from the rain. See their member blog thread:

Yes thats it. I have a greenhouse with the only purpose to protect plants from frequent rainfall. Thank you Evan.

Well, I do have a photo of my E. cylindrifolia ssp tuberifera here at work. It was taken Jan 15, 2020 before I repotted all of them. Don't have a more recent one.

And, I am not 100% sure this is E. cylindrifolia, but I'm fairly sure. The leaves look a bit too open. Just don't know the subspecies.

Its said that they will grow bigger caudexes when they are buried. Once they are exposed, they stop growing...Mine is buried and I know it is becoming fat...I'll wait some years more before exposing it.

Are you speaking about E. tulearensis? I know that is true for Trichodiademia bulbosum. People grow them over 12 years before exposing the caudex.

Finally got to check for the photos of my E. tulearensis plant. I bought it from C&D Plants last August. These are photos as I received it and after potting. The round pot is 3.5 inches in diameter for reference.

Oh is it? Mine is growing leaves almost every week, so it's growing fine I guess.
