Taking any and all advice on how to keep her alive now! Cause shes definitely in rough shape and Ive only had one Euphorbia before…
We managed to keep the moving damage minimal – only one lost arm. I did put her in a new pot (old one was plastic) with mostly new dirt but I kept it to a fairly similar size.. She's still a bit too top heavy to stand on her own without falling out right now but I was able to straighten her a little bit and do have a game plan to support the top when I can move her to a better spot.
I assume the pale tips are from not getting enough light/general poor care and there's scarring from over watering..
Questions:
Would she be okay next to an AC unit if it meant shed get a South and a West window? I'm pretty north so I know I'll need to supplement light anyways
I'm going to give her a bit to destress before I do anything but any advice on the best approach to trimming or encouraging lower growth?
Is it best to give her a good water now or wait a bit?

Looks more like a E. Eritrea rather than E. Ingens (I’m not at home so I can’t provide my Ingens for reference but ribs and spine look different). I guess keeping her close to an AC unit would not do much harm unless you set it at -10°C. Watering wise i’d say you should check the soil first, if it is rather wet I’d wait until it’s somewhat dry. Though take these advices with a pinch of salt because despite having a few euphorbias and other cactacee which have grown quite well, I’ve always gave credit to the climate I have in my region (Southern Tuscany). Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will reply with more useful advices.
I would cut those thin arms off and slowly introduce it to more sun so it can grow right . Try and propagate the pieces that aren’t too stretched out
