Euphorbia trigona
The African milk tree is a succulent shrub or tree and native to areas with dry, tropical forests, like Angola, Congo, Gabon, Malawi, and Zaire. The common name, African Milk tree, refers to its native region, and the plant's milky sap. This plant resembles a cactus and is spiny, fleshy, and evergreen. It can grow up to 6 to 12 feet tall, 5-10 feet wide, and is erect, columar, branching and has a candelabra-like habit.
It requires partial sun when planted outdoors and bright indirect light when grown indoors.
Water the plant when the soil feels dry at the surface depth of 1 to 2 inches. The soil should be well-drained, and sandy or loamy with a acidic to neutral pH.
If used as a houseplant or potted plant, a cactus or succulent potting mix is recommended. It is best to water this plant sparingly and avoid overwatering.
