The arms are turning yellow, withering and falling off. It sits in close proximity to and gets the same treatment as another plant which is doing beautifully. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
It looks great, growing well in full sun in pot in my zone 10 Israel desert garden. But the chartreuse blooms are gone, will it rebloom?...Read More? Gardening here sure is a lot different from gardening in New York!!

Great for pots as well as putting in the ground. Handles full sun, as well as performing pretty well as a house plant (though needs bright light, and still, it will get quite 'leggy'). And the great thing about it is it's cheap and easy to find (nearly all garden outlet stores will have this plant, now and then, at least). Easy to handle and 'branches' pretty bendable and sturdy, so exposure to sap not that big a deal. Still, avoid breaking 'arms' and then rubbing sap in your eyes, or you will be sorry.
Noticed this plant mysteriously showing up in the planter boxes where it didn't exist before... though a 'mother' plant is in the same box several yards away. Not sure how, but looks like this could be an invasive species. This is the only 'weed' caudiciform plant I have grown. I would rate it as one of the easiest Euphorbias to grow in both pots and in the landscape in southern California, highly tolerant of shade, sun, excess water and drought.
Crested forms exist and also quite common at garden outlet centers. Normal forms will suddenly crest now and then, too.

Like all Euphorbia HANDLE WITH CARE, the latex/sap is dangerous and can cause skin rash, itching and general discomfort.
