The African milk tree, scientifically known as Euphorbia trigona, is a popular indoor plant that originates from Central Africa. It is renowned for its striking, vertical growth and branch structure, which resembles a cactus, making it a unique addition to any indoor space.
Despite its common name, the African milk tree is not a true cactus but belongs to the Euphorbia plant family, which thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates. Its resilience and low maintenance requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts looking to enhance their indoor environment.
Euphorbia, also known as the African Milk Tree, thrives best when placed in a sunny spot. It requires watering every 8-10 days, ensuring the soil dries out slightly between waterings. For optimal growth, plant your Euphorbia in well-draining soil, ideally a mix designed for cacti and succulents, to prevent root rot. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically from spring to fall, every four to six weeks with a balanced, diluted fertilizer. This care regimen helps maintain its striking appearance and promotes healthy growth.
