A hollow interior in a dead corn cob euphorbia is most likely caused by root or stem rot, which can occur from overwatering or poorly draining soil. Rot begins by killing the plant's roots, and then a fungal infection spreads, decaying the core of the stem. 🙏🏽

Looks like both plants there are dead:( I don’t think they have a chance…
