needrain said:I took this photo of Euphorbia mammillaris var variegata today. I've been keeping an eye on it since it's located in all day sun. What it's done so far is lose most of the old spines, but the new ones are just shading into a rosier shade of pink. Also the part where the new spines are growing has sort of a bulbous look on the top that's a bit larger diameter than the lower arm. A couple of of the arms have grown new arms. Hard to tell how much of that may be occurring since they are closer together toward the center. I don't want to burn it up in the sun. Don't always trust the sun here. I moved a little cactus so a larger container could block some sun on it. I moved that one into dappled shade last summer and may do it again if the container doesn't seem to be blocking enough direct sun.

Looks healthy! And yeah this sun is crazy strong here, I was thinking that I was unhappy that my plants only got like 3-5hours of direct sun but I think its actually a good thing now, especially during this adjustment season for my plants being in this caliber sun and heat for the first time.
