African Milk Tree

The African Milk Tree (Euphorbia trigona), also known as the "Candelabra Cactus" or "Cathedral Cactus," is a striking succulent native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa. Known for its upright, tree-like structure, the plant features thick, ribbed stems that branch out in a candelabra shape, often reaching heights of up to 10 feet when grown indoors and even taller in ideal outdoor conditions. Its green, spiny stems are complemented by small, inconspicuous flowers that bloom in clusters, typically surrounded by red or yellow bracts, giving the plant a unique ornamental quality. The African Milk Tree is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, it should be handled with care. This hardy plant thrives in well-draining soil and bright, indirect light, making it an ideal choice for xeriscapes and as a decorative indoor plant.
