From George the master gardener at plant program June 1 2023. He tagged as Euphorbia, but didn't seem right. He corrected that later by a note to me.
He says 'Jungle/tropical cactus, early or late sun but not midday, Should bloom yellow in midwinter, thn=en should rest dry for a month.'
I repotted from small clay to larger plastic, March 20, 2024, did not bloom this winter.
