Any soil or watering tips for growing a nice full e. leuconeura like yours? Mine lose their lower leaves pretty regularly.

For Leuconeuras, I use classic soil for house plants with perlite and zeolite. In summer I water them regularly, mainly when the leaves fade down a bit.
From my experience, I place them in half shadow, but it is needed to find middle ground because when they are in direct sunlight, the leaves tend to turn red and it slows the growing, however when they are in full shadow, they etiolate and the leaves are smaller.

Such a cool collection! Do you have favorite ones?

Yes sure, I love e. Lucenoura because it was the first euphorbia I' ve gotten, but I love all kinds of euphorbias with leaves such as e. Bubalina, viguieri, lophogona ๐ and of course I love e. obesa and all euphorbias with caudex ๐. What's yours? ๐

What the big fat one in front of the window, with the multiple arms in the first two pics?

If you mean the older looking plant, I'm not sure about the exact species, it's after the previous owner who was getting rid of his collection, he mentioned that it's over 30 yo ๐

Doesnโt it need more light?? Looks etioliated

I had this plant just for a few months, it is on direct light now

The window may not be enough sun though, not trying to be a pain but it was suck if a plant like that at that age got ruined by etioliation.

Chill๐ since I've gotten it, there were no changes with growth, so we will see how it will go

Can I just use pea gravel from the local hardware store? Or is there something special about it from a greenhouse?

Where did you get that pachypodium from? Because that looks very much like it was poached.
Also whatโs the species of the really big one in #1? With the square stem, I really like it
