    I am looking for help identifying this plant. It is approximately 2 years old and still has a lot of growing to do. I have kept it indoors and it loves sunlight. It does not have flowers, and the stalk has recently started changing as seen in the pics. A mature version of this plant (from which this one came) was 2-3 foot tall with its entire stalk like the current top section of this one but much thicker. Any help identifying this plant is much appreciated.

    Compare with Euphorbia leuconeura.

    That definitely is Euphorbia leuconeura!!!

    What do you mean it doesn't have flowers? The plant in your photo is in full bloom!!!

    The flowers are small and not show and self pollinating. The mature fruit are explosive and throw the seeds far and wide!!!
