Euphorbia Trigona

Architectural and striking, the Euphorbia trigona — also known as the African Milk Tree — is a tall, columnar succulent that brings bold vertical interest to any plant collection. With its upright stems edged in spines and adorned with small, teardrop-shaped leaves, it’s a statement piece that thrives with very little care. Its sculptural look makes it perfect for modern interiors or sunny patios.

Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect to full sun. A south- or west-facing window is ideal.

• Water: Water sparingly — allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Very drought-tolerant.

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus/succulent mix.

• Temperature: Prefers 18–29°C (65–85°F). Protect from frost.

• Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans. Handle carefully — the milky white sap is irritating to skin and eyes.
