I can't seem to find this plant. I've had it for about 6 months! I thought it looked like a euphorbia It was inside a tall glass jar and the tips where all cut off, it had already calloused so I didn't notice if there was any latex! Fast grower, about 4 new shoots! All new growths are etiolated tho.

Edit: its about 8-10" tall if that helps
And another picture that shows its colour a little better.

I'm not sure what it is either. It would be good to know a little more history. In a tall glass jar from a nursery? Florist? Friend with odd plants?

To rule out Euphorbia, nick one of the stems and see if it does bleed latex. It doesn't need to be a large nick, just a prick will do it.

Etiolation is caused by lack of sufficient light.

I don't know if its that exact one but I think Kleinia is right.

That does look like it daisy! On the right track now thankyou!
It was bought from B&Q, the glass jar was tall but very narrow, i now assume it was just to keep the shoots upright? At the time I thought it was in the jar because the tips where cut and it was maybe a euphorbia?
Yes its etiolated because I have it high out of reach from my daughter! She likes putting the pots together to build forests and that! and it could have been a euphorbia! I didn't want to leave it to chance
Same goes for knicking it!
