I noticed a typo in the second paragraph:
“Crown of Thorns sap is poisonous and can be a skin irritant so be careful when trimming or reporting the plant.”
I think you meant “repotting,” not “reporting.”

In reply to meda.

Sometimes when the plant is getting tons of light, the leaves turn a bit redder. It could also be phosphorus deficiency, it causes the leaves to develop red-purple overtones (especially on the tips and outer edges of the leaves) and have a stunt growth. Try to do apply a mild diluted fertilizer, or maybe re-pot the plant to see if that fixes the problem.

Hope this helps!
Let me know how it goes, or if you have any other questions!

I bought a small euphorbia last year; it grows, it flowers but the leaves are turning red. Most of the leaves are now half green, half red. Do you have any idea why?
