Euphorbia Trigona - African Milk Tree

African Milk Tree
Euphorbia Trigona

The Euphorbia Trigona, also known as the African Milk Tree, is a bold stunner with upright, cactus like stems and small green leaves that sprout along its ridges.

Despite its cactus appearance, it’s actually a succulent, fast growing, low maintenance, and perfect for adding height and drama to your indoor jungle.

✨ Why we love it:

🌱 Striking upright stems with cactus vibes (but it’s not a cactus!)
🌱 Hardy, drought tolerant, and easy to grow
🌱 Adds height and sculptural shape to any plant display
🌱 Fast growing with a dramatic presence
🌱 A long lived plant that only gets better with age

💡 Light: Loves bright light, including some direct sun. A sunny windowsill or bright spot will keep it thriving.

💧 Water: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering again. Overwatering is the quickest way to harm this beauty.

🌱 Humidity: Tolerates normal household humidity, no fuss required.

🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warmth, ideally 16-28 °C. Keep away from cold draughts and never let it sit in freezing conditions.

🚫 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested and its milky sap can irritate skin, handle with care and keep away from pets and children.

🌿 Top Tip: Rotate your Euphorbia regularly so it grows evenly towards the light. As it matures, it can reach impressive heights, so give it space to show off its growth potential.
