Euphorbia Trigona Cactus - African Milk Tree
Despite its name, the Euphorbia trigona, commonly known as the African Milk Tree, is actually a succulent rather than a true cactus. Native to West Africa, it can also be found in tropical regions of Asia and India. This unique plant features spiny stems and small leaves that grow along the edges of its stalks. Its distinctive name comes from the milky white sap that oozes out when the plant is cut or broken.

The Euphorbia trigona is relatively easy to care for, but it does require occasional dusting to keep its pores clear, allowing the plant to "breathe." Since it has shallow roots, it can become top-heavy, so you may need to support it with canes to prevent it from tipping over.

Cactus Care Guide

Light Requirements

Bright, indirect to direct sunlight

Cacti will thrive in bright indirect light or direct full sun. They’re perfect for South and South-West facing window sills that receive sunlight too strong for most houseplants.

Watering Schedule

Weekly watering

Water once every 2 - 3 weeks, allowing its soil to completely dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. During winter water once a month.

Humidity

Lower humidity

Cacti do not have any particular humidity requirements - but are not suited to very humid environments like bathrooms or terrariums.

Sad Plant Signs

Wrinkled stem or leaves, yellowing, mushy leaves

Wrinkled stem or leaves: under-watered. Dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly.

Yellow, mushy leaves: over-watered, possible root rot. Stop watering until the soil has dried out. Check if the roots have died.
