Euphorbia Trigona Houseplant - African Milk Tree Plant

Meet the Euphorbia trigona (African Milk Tree)

Euphorbia trigona, commonly known as the African Milk Tree, is a succulent native to South Africa and parts of southern Africa. Although it resembles a cactus, it belongs to the Euphorbia genus and thrives in warm, semi-arid environments. The plant develops tall, upright, triangular stems often lined with small spines and occasional leaves. Its striking architectural form, sometimes branching like a chandelier, makes it a dramatic statement plant for both indoor displays.
