Clarification on commercial seller / nursery posts

24 Upvotes

We need to clarify how the no-sales rule applies here.

r/Euphorbiaceae is a hobbyist subreddit, not an advertising feed for nurseries, sellers, importers, exporters, or resellers. Direct sales posts have never been allowed, but going forward we are also treating repeated commercial “showcase” posts as promotion when the account is clearly tied to a seller or nursery.

That includes posts that do not include a direct sales link.

If an account is posting nursery stock, inventory-style photos, availability bait, or repeated plant showcases while linking to a shop, WhatsApp, Instagram, website, seller profile, or other sales channel elsewhere, that is still commercial promotion. The post itself does not need to say “for sale” for it to function as advertising.

This is not about whether the plants are nice, whether a seller is legitimate, or whether someone has had a good buying experience. It is about keeping the subreddit from becoming a visibility funnel for commercial accounts and making sure normal hobbyist posts are not drowned out.

Hobbyist posts are welcome. Collection photos are welcome. Growing questions, IDs, flowers, seed-grown plants, habitat/conservation discussion, and normal personal plant posts are welcome.

Commercial use of the subreddit is not.

We’ll be removing posts that fall into this pattern and may restrict or ban accounts that continue using the subreddit this way.

I bought a crown of thorns last Saturday. I moved it out of its super saturated soil and repotted into a smaller pot with new well draining soil. It looks a bit droopy(2nd image). Soil is moist and I've been letting it get acclimated should I give it less sun maybe?

❔️Question ❔️ Shall I chop it?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Unfortunately, my euphorbia seems to have been scorched by the sun (the black part on the top is brittle and dry, no sign of new growth). I also misjudged the height of my second cactus and would like the lighter one to be shorter than the darker one… should I chop it where the red line is? Are there risks to this/will it potentially look worse that way?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Euphorbia trigona dying :(

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello! I believe this is an Euphorbia trigona and I think it is overwatered and getting too much sun. I’ve had it for 1.5 years and try to water it once a month. I think this is rot at the bottom - it’s very soft and does not bleed any of the white liquid when punctured. All of the arms are very thin and fragile - not plump at all. My apartment gets a lot of sun and it’s been in a east and south facing, full sun spot since I got it. I checked the soil today and it’s not wet to the touch and feels pretty dry. It’s been about 3 weeks since we last watered it.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions about what’s wrong and provide next steps?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Barrel euphorbia

Post image

I bought this barrel euphorbia a few months back from Lowes, specifically because it had 3 little pups with it. Now that the babies are showing signs of growth (all 3 were the same height, but #1 is getting taller), would it be better to leave them attached to the mother plant or remove them and pot them separately? Any advice for doing this?

❗️Advice Needed ❗️ Sudden death of my old beloved Euphorbia

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Recently I returned home from a 6 day vacation and noticed the top of my 12 year-old cactus Euphorbia (I’m now learning) was severely browning and looking rotten. It had a years-old battle wound from a time my toddler accidentally knocked it over and that’s where the worst of it was, but that had scabbed over years ago. After a google search i read that I could possibly save it by cutting off the infected top. It was sad to do, but I was willing to do anything to save it. After I removed the top third I noticed the rot was also coming up from the bottom (3rd photo) and knew it was only a matter of time before the whole thing was dead. The google search said that i could try and regrow it from a section of the healthy flesh (4th photo) and to leave it to dry and callous over for a few weeks before repotting it in fresh soil. About a week and a half later the healthy looking center section was starting to rot from both ends. I’m disappointed and curious how this happened. How did it get infected? With a track record of 12+ years why did it suddenly die out of the blue? I want to replace it, it was one of my favorite plants in my home, but I want to make sure I don’t make the same mistake again. Thanks for any advice.
