This plant, also known as Euphorbia, has some specific growing requirements. Here are articles you can check to see if your plants are receiving what they need: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/euphorbia/growing-euphorbia-plants.htm

Deep watering may have allowed the roots to stay wet for too long, or your plants may have contracted a fungus. You may want to prune the bad stems down at the base of the plant, and if you do decide to prune them back, please wear gloves - the sticky substance inside them is toxic.
