I planted a gopher plant (Euphorbia Rigida) in May. It gets full southern sun and was hand watered for the first 2 weeks, every 3rd day, thereafter one time per week. The problem is that the plant has lost its silver green color and the leaves have been turning yellow from the bottom up. Is this due to too much sun, too much or too little water? I bought another gopher 1 week ago and again the lower leaves are starting to turn yellow. I've followed the watering schedule as recommended by the nursery where I purchased the plants and I'm concerned that the plants will die. Any advice you can offer will be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!
