We bought this about 7 years ago when we lived in Northern California. We have since lived in Seattle (for 6 years) and I’m noticing the cactus isn’t doing well. It doesn’t grow leaves anymore and just generally seems like it’s weakening.

I definitely don’t over water; if anything it’s the opposite. And it’s in as indirect bright light as we have available.

Any things I can do to help make it happy again?

Thanks!

    it doesn’t get enough light and it looks slightly underwatered. It needs to be in direct sun. Idk why you are saying as much indirect light as you can give it?? This is a euphorbia not a cactus. Acclimate it to direct sun over a few weeks. Minimum of 4 hours is what I recommend people. I’ve found that mine are very happy in 6 but others can be ok in 4 as long as it’s bright throughout the day or you supplement witha grow light. Water when it’s 100% dry.

    5-6 hours of direct sun and 800 foot candles. Lots of sunshine. ☀️
