# So I was leaving for work four days ago and I noticed my euphorbia…

So I was leaving for work four days ago and I noticed my euphorbia not doing so well, so I moved it outside to help it get more light. The light hasn’t seemed to make a difference in the problem area. What do I do? TYIA

Is that all one plant? Was the brown what caused you to put it outdoors?

Because the rest of it looks great. These guys don't need a lot of direct sun (you can see how mine changed color and dropped all leaves with its direct sun life).

Yes and yes. All the other things are babies and I don’t want to lose them

I would just keep an eye on that spot and you'll maybe, unfortunately, need to chop if the body is squishy.

It is squishy 😭😭😭 am I able to just remove the squishy part and repot the top part that is still green?
