Drooping Cactus After Move: Likely Euphorbia, Needs Light

Neena's top-heavy cactus (with leaves on stems) pulled its roots out during a move. Now it leans, stalks curved, "lost spines."

ID & Cause

Leaves = Euphorbia (not cactus). Curving tops = insufficient light. Move shock exacerbated it.

Recovery

  • Repot in spring in gritty mix.
  • Give much brighter light.
  • Optionally top cuttings to restart upright.

Aesthetics drive the decision; plant will survive either way.
