I was given this “Crown of Thorns” to propagate. It’s been doing great, it has rooted and grown a new stem, however, today I noticed that the newest leaves have curled upwards. I have it indoors under a grow light (36W Sansi bulb, about 2 feet away) it receives about 12hrs of light every day. I don’t know the exact name of this plant, but does anyone know if this is too much light? Or if there is another problem, like too much water or lack of? I water it when it fully dries out. Do y’all recommend I upside the pot? Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi, pretty sure that’s Pereskia grandifolia, a cactus (not a Euphorbia!).
I can’t really say whether or not that curling is normal; my plant hasn’t put out new leaves (but it did flower!). I think I underwater it. All the leaves droop when thirsty. I water my plant about once a week (it’s in a 4in pot in a rather organic potting mix) and that seems to be the bare minimum for my climate.
