I will attempt to post a pic now. Oh, I have a string of led lights around it to give it effect in the evening and usually just keep it on all night.
Thank-you !

Has it a white sap when cut?
It looks like a Euphorbia trigonus, which is not technically a cactus.

Beautiful plant! How do you keep it from breaking when moving? Did you have to repot frequently?

Hi and thanks. I looked up Euphorbia trigonus and saw this post on the web, which call it a Cactus. It doesn't grow any red leaves as Euphorbia mentions. However, I'm still trying to identify it and see this post calling it a XL Euphorbia Tigona Jade Tiger Cactus ? https://urbanxeriscape.com/product/xl-e ... orbiaceae/Aloinopsis wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 6:14 pm Has it a white sap when cut?

When I moved it was carefully transported by Atlas Van Lines. I built a home and it was in storage for almost 6 months before the house was ready. Atlas Van Lines didn't guarantee the survival. When I finally received it I had to cut out a whole branch so it was a lot larger previously. That was about 20 years ago. As you notices, I hold it up straight with some broom sticks so it doesn't lean but I really don't need them as it now stands tall on it's own.
I always re-potted as it grew into larger pots. It's pretty sturdy as when I moved it they put a blanket around it and leaned it to it's side then set it up straight during transport.

Most Euphorbia trigona plants don't have red leaves.
