Default Euphorbia - tired

Two Euphorbia in pots on the back porch. Lots of sun, esp. summer.

Have never pruned a Euphobia, but need to learn how pretty quick.
From photo you can see how they are hanging tiredly down.

They get plenty of water.

Are they getting too much sun?

Will check Internet for Euphorbia (can't remember variety; does
anybody know)? but meantime would appreciate any advice.


Looks like a Euphorbia Wulfenii to me.

Are you sure it's not got dry spots in the pot? I'd suggest 3 things - just
cut off the dead bits at the base, repot what's left and strip some of the
flower heads that might have seeds on them and put them in seed raising mix
to start some new ones.
