The African milk tree, scientifically known as Euphorbia trigona, is a popular indoor plant admired for its striking, vertical growth and minimal care requirements. Often mistaken for a cactus due to its sharp spines and ribbed branches, this plant adds a distinctive touch to home decor with its vibrant green color and unique architectural structure.
Originally from Central Africa, including regions like Cameroon and Gabon, the Euphoria genus thrives in a variety of arid and semi-arid environments. Its resilience and easy-to-maintain nature make the African milk tree an excellent choice for indoor environments, where it purifies the air and enhances aesthetic appeal.
Euphorbia, commonly known as the African Milk Tree, thrives in a spot with partial shade, making it ideal for bright indoor spaces. This hardy plant prefers watering every 8-10 days, ensuring the soil is dry between waterings to prevent root rot. For optimal growth, plant it in well-draining soil, specifically designed for cacti or succulents, to replicate its native environment. Fertilize euphorbia during the growing season, from spring to early fall, using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month. This schedule supports its growth without overwhelming the plant, keeping it healthy and vibrant year-round.
