All Year Round
- The African Milk Tree despite being referred to as a cactus is actually a succulent. This slow growing houseplant can grow to 6ft in height, living for many years with proper care. It is very low maintenance making it ideal for beginners or for plant lovers as a gift, looking great in a bedroom, living room or as a desk or office plant.
- The plant is known as an African Milk Tree, due to the milky white sap that comes out when it is cut or broken. Please be careful of the sap as it can be poisonous to pets and can cause skin irritation if you come in contact with it.
This easy to care for houseplant prefers to grow in bright indirect sunlight but can sit in direct sunlight unlike other Euphorbia varieties. Due to its tropical nature it likes to grow in a warm environment at 20°C but no less than 15°C.
Water when the top two to four inches of soil is dry to the touch, allowing the water to drain out of the pot. During Autumn and Winter, water lightly only every 3 to 4 weeks.
The Euphorbia trigona grows well in normal home humidity but prefers drier air. Avoid placing in steamier rooms such as a bathroom or kitchen. This plant requires dusting every so often to unblock its pores as this helps the plant breathe.
