[Arid_gardener] Please help

[Gale Lefkowitz]

We have an old euphorbia in our living room in Tucson. The plant is 10-12 years old, at least, and stands about 12 feet at it's highest point. It gets watered once a month  a tea kettle  amount of water. This past month the secondary branches have drooped and the whole plant is leaning to one side, I'm assuming from the weight. The soil has good drainage, is currently dry at the surface and moist at the base. I have three plant stakes in the pot that are getting pulled over by the plant (branches are tied to the stakes).
   
  Should I give the plant more water and see if that helps with the drooping?
  I fertilize in the spring.
  Any suggestions?
