Not sure if these lovelies are cacti... Help please!

[pau_paws]

Please take a look:

#1

I'm thinking this is a euphorbia...

#2


This bears small pink flowers at the top of the plant. The pups come out at the bottom part of the plant.

#3


I have no idea what this is. It's hardy and very tiny spines at the tips of the plant. When I cut it (near the roots part), a white sap came out.

I'm thinking #1 and #2 aren't cacti...

None of them are cacti, they all may be Euphorbia but I'm not positive about #2 (there are a lot of succulents that have that general form and the size of those leaves suggests something other than Euphorbia to me). My guess is that #1 is either Euphorbia decaryii or possibly Euphorbia milii x decaryii.

They are all very nice plants!

#2 possibly some sort of Pachypodium?

All 3 are Euphorbia.

1. One of those tuberous root types. decaryi, cylindrifolia, tuberifera.
2. Its now been placed in Euphorbia, but most still consider it Monademium ritchei.
3. Euphorbia lactea crested

#1: Pretty sure this is E. decaryi var. decaryi and not a hybrid.
#2: Probably M. ritchiei, but could also be M. heteropodum or something else. Monadeniums are very variable in culture, which makes them hard to identify.

Wow! Thanks everyone for all your help!
Do they also have the tendency to suffer the same diseases as cacti do?

Thanks for moving the thread mod! Appreciate it much.
Sorry for the mis-post.
