Time to move this beauty to a bigger pot. How big?

Over the past few months this euphorbia has grown a lot - you can tell where these new growth on top starts. I’m going to repot it. It’s in a 3-4” diameter pot now. What size? What kind of potting soil? It's in wood chips now. Should I take the branches off and put them in separate pots to propagate? And any other suggestions?

Fungus infection

I think my plant has a fungus infection. The tissue is soft and I am worried it will not be able to hold the whole plant for long. What can I do to save the plant? Should I propagate it and start from the beginning? Is it possible to cut the plant above the fungus and try to route it from there again?

Where I live winter has just started and inside it's often around 10 degrees Celsius during the night.

Does my African milk tree stand a chance?

About 3 months ago I bought this at a nursery, it looked just like this when I bought it. I’m getting the sense that these aren’t supposed to look like this. Any tips on what I should do? I’ve been keeping it in an area in my home with low light levels. That’s about where I’m at with it right now.

My euphorbia is rotting and i’m really worried

My euphorbia is massive and really old. She’s probably anywhere from 90-100 years old if I had to guess. I repotted her a few months ago and she’s developed root rot from the soil. I haven’t watered it or anything but it was really root bound so I think it’s just not used to having even water distribution or something like that. I’m not seeking judgment or advice I just wanna know if she’ll be able to bounce back??? Like I said it’s a really old plant and I have no idea if it’ll be able to handle regrowing a whole new set of roots.

Just a bendy Trigona for you all today 😂

This Euphorbia has been in the same spot all summer at the Home Depot near me. Every time it looks sadder and sadder. It’s even had time in this position to grow back up toward the light. They literally haven’t moved it once. 😂 Thinking about saving it. But it’s 120 and I have ones larger than this I spent way less on. Should I ask for a discount? Is that a thing at big box stores even if there isn’t a clearance tag?

At first I had no clue what this plant was, but fortunately it was labeled! It's so sick, I love it

Is my indian spurge plant ok?

This is a cutting planted in June. It’s been doing well but as it is starting to get colder where I live, The growth has slowed down immensely and as you change see one leaf is starting to shrivel- it’s been that way for about a month or month and a half. Is this normal? I keep it indoors in the windowsill which never gets complete direct sunlight at any point in the day. How much should I be watering it?

ID and advice please

Hello esteemed succulent experts.

We have had this succulent about 5 years now and it must have tripled in size.

Please can someone help me with the exact type? Feels like we should repot to something bigger than the current pot? What kind of soil, just normal indoor plant soil? Should we also support it somehow? Don't want it to topple over.

Thanks in advance! :)
