Over the holidays I became the new owner of this huge euphorbia with eight 6 feet tall stalks. It had been at a well maintained nursery for years.

Since it came to my house, 70% of the leaves fell off in the first month. Heartbreaking. I expected this was shock. It seemed to level off, but now seeing another 15% of the leaves shrivel up. What should it do? Anything?

The details:

Potting – the nursery said it would be fine without a repotting for another 1.5 years likely. Soil looks good and loose.

Watering – I watered it once on Jan 9th and haven’t done another round yet. Should I water it again? Should I give it a good soak? I’m paranoid about overwatering

Lighting – west facing window with 4-5 hours of sun this time of the year. Does it need a grow light
