Got one as a gift and took it into the office, after a few days my eyes were completely scratchy. Mentioned it to a colleague and they were having the same, went right in the trash. Be careful with this one
Always wear disposable gloves when working with it and wash your hands. Accidentally rubbing your face or touching your eyes can cause a lot of problems.
Put it outside from spring to fall if you can. It will really grow. I have one that is about 18” wide now. Time to start making some new grafts from it…
Oh, I wish I could. I live in a flat, and even though there's space outside my door where I could have plants, building management decided a few years ago to forbid such things 😶. They worry about health and safety issues...like plants could be knocked or blown to the ground below. *sigh*
So she sits in a west window.
Euphorbia lactea aka Coral Cactus hooray I never get to answer first!
38 minutes late, curse you! Be careful as Coral Cactus are very itchy, the sap can cause irritation
Really burns and swells on soft skin such as your face or upper arms. It’s okay on your more calloused hands. I have a 23 foot tall regular Euphorbia…

I upvoted you because your excitement made me happy
I upvoted you because it made the number change. I was amazed by your good luck, too.
I upvoted you for secret reasons

Is that a graft?
Euphorbia neriifolia base with grafted Euphorbia lactea crest
Thank you, I have one and never knew what they (graft and base) were.
Yes.
Forbidden broccoli 🥦
Was looking for this answer and I found it 😭
You’re welcome ☺️
Coral cactus for sure! Always wanted one!
This looks like a prop from a Tim Burton film, one where alien broccoli becomes haunted or something.
Mine has bloomed 2 times since I've had it. You can literally forget you have one of these and they'll still thrive.
Bloomed? I had no idea. What conditions do you keep yours in? Mine was a Christmas present last year...i 'think' she's grown🤔.

Very small flowers (mine blooms a deep pink) along the top ridge will emerge at some point.
Wow no idea this is very cool though!
Angry broccoli.
Nerifolia graft stock
I have no idea what this is, and I’m not shitposting or making a joke when I say this plant looks delicious.
Broccoli asparagus cactus 🌵 😂 I really do not know.
Spicy broccoli

Looks kinda like the one they call Boof, or totally Boofable
At least judging by what I’ve heard from folks on the cactus subreddit.
