Hi, in most cases succulents can be treated exactly the same as the true cacti. After all, they are all succulent plants. Euphorbia horrida can certainly be treated the same as a cacti. In England you should be starting to ease back on the watering now.

Do your best to get names for them. Many succulents are described as "winter growers" and can need slightly different treatment from cacti.
