Hi All! I recently moved and brought my large euphorbia with me. Today I noticed some browning at the base, but it still feels firm to the touch. Could it be stress from the move, or something I should worry about? Any tips to prevent it from spreading would be much appreciated! This beautiful plant means a lot to me. Helppp. 🌵

My 2 cents: the mix looks highly organic to me. That alone isn’t bad, but combined with lighting and watering habits could mean that it is staying wet for too long and starting to rot. I would examine the roots as that is typically where you will see the issue start.
What are your watering habits? What zone are you in? I see that it’s in a corner that does not seem particularly bright. Generally, euphorbia like to be adjusted to higher amounts of sunlight.
There could be some shock involved, but as your instincts may be telling you a browning like this does not seem to be corking (natural process).
organic soil, too much water, not enough lighjt
Buy some INORGANIC soil or a less organic mix.
