Why are the leaves on my Euphorbia turning yellow?

Our Advice:

The most common reason for yellowing leaves on Euphorbias is overwatering. Euphorbias prefer well-draining soil and do not tolerate standing water around their roots. watering them too frequently or allowing the soil to remain soggy for prolonged periods can lead to root rot, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and wilt. It is best to allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and ensure that the pot has adequate drainage.
