This hopped into my cart yesterday and came home with me can anyone tell me what it is and how to take care of it
Just want to put on everybody’s radar that the IES has been active for the last 20 years and publishes the fantastic “Euphorbia World” journal 4x a year. I’ve recently become the US representative and have been tasked with trying to grow the membership, particularly with younger generations and outside Europe where most of the current subscribers reside. It’s a great organization with renowned leadership. Our chairperson is still the legendary Susan Carter-Holmes.

Delete if not allowed, but since this is a non-profit organization that benefits the community and these plants, I figured it’s definitely not “self promotion”
I had posted this in a different (wrong) sub and didn't feel like typing it again, so I got lazy. Lol
Hi folks! I’m new to appreciating Euphorbias and saw these at my local nursery for the first time. Price scared me off tbh but I think they’re pretty
I check out this euphorbia series from my library. Just flipping through the pages and admiring all the flavors
Picked up a huge amount of Euphorbia Engens cuttings from marketplace last week. I'm not super familiar with how long it takes for these to callus over to be planted. Any advice?
As the title says, I thought that this might help with info and it would be great if it was indexed in search engines since there is little information on uncommon Euphorbias on the internet. Please add to this list the species you know or have experience with.
Here is my list so far:

Last month, I got some pencil cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli) props. At the time, I misidentified them as a mistletoe cactus (Rhapsis sp.). Stupid mistake, I know.
As they are now starting to take root, I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to keep them in my house. We own three jerk cats—a kitten (who shows curiosity towards my plants, but has been responsive to my redirection from chewing), and two adult jerk cats who love to chew.
From what I've gathered, the only toxic part of the plant is the caustic sap. After one of my cats decided to gnaw on a few of the props (luckily most made it), I thought that I'd put myself in their shoes (paws?). I made the tiniest cut and tasted the milk. Other than the metallic taste and the slight burning sensation on my tongue, I concluded that it wouldn't kill them, and belonged in the same category as my aroids—"Not Fatal, But Definitely Irritating".
However, I still have my doubts. Do any pet owners have this plant indoors with success? Or is it better if I rehome the babies? I don't want to endanger my animals, but feel like some "toxic" plants are mild enough to warrant keeping.
What do you guys think?
Hello all could somebody guide me in the right direction please. I'm thinking of combining these two in the bigger pot. The one in the nursery pot has grown quite a bit and I fear the other may have been placed in too big a pot as it hasn't grown a whole lot. Are these sturdy enough to be moved out of their pots anytime or should I wait for spring?
Euphorbia nivulia
I found this 3ft Crown of Thorns plant at an estate sale today. It was in a tiny pot. Repotted in very sandy loam soil and River rocks. It was super tricky to pot it by myself, but I got it done.
I have no idea what the color of the blooms will be, red perhaps? In Zone 9B.
