I got this plant from a nursery 2 years ago in their household plant section. They didn't know what it was, it wasn't labeled and it was all by itself. When I bought it it was 4" and had 3-4 branches, the green and white. I still can't figure out what it is! It likes cactus soil and bleeds white. Cuttings root and continue to grow. Can anyone ID it? Thanks!

Looks like some form of Euphorbia cactus. Google Euphorbia and look at the pics.

It is a Euphorbia, maybe Devil's Backbone - Euphorbia tithymaloides. I love the white branch.

Rather than suggest a Google search, send them to our database, the Euphorbia database has lots of photos. nodding

I think it may be a 'Nana' because the leaves are so close together, but I don't know what other cultivars or sub-species there might be. No pics here yet:
