Can anyone help me with my African Milk Tree? It's flopping over quite a bit, especially in the last few days. I read they get top heavy, and mine is about 4' tall. If I need to trim, how do I do that, or where would I cut it?

    I would put some supports into your pot. I bet something like a tomato ring would help. If not even just a large wooden post and tie material that works well with cactus. I like this rubberized type material for using with my cacti. By any chance, when was the last time it was given water? Wish I could help you RE: trimming, as I am not very familiar with the milk cacti

      I watered it last week, and a bit today. I don't want to give it too much, and the pot does not have drain holes. Thank you for the suggestions!

    Yeah, I would repot it but look for a pot that is tall and skinny so that’s what mine’s been in and it’s just beautiful. I’ll see if I can post a picture and it’s actually inside near a south west facing window.
