Baby Plants - Euphorbia Trigona

Euphorbia Trigona, otherwise known as the African Milk Tree, is a small plant which lies somewhere in-between the cactus and succulent families. Upright stems grow in triangular shaped columns, with small leaves growing on the ridges.

As a West African native, your African Milk Plant will prefer a hot, dry environment, away from any humidity. Place it in bright, indirect sunlight and wait until the soil has dried out before watering again. This plant also has milky sap inside, which can be poisonous to children and pets, so make sure to wash your hands if this gets on your skin.

This houseplant is an excellent choice for any plant lover. Not only is it unique, and perfect for adding a statement to your living room or bedroom, but it’s extremely low maintenance too! It would look great on a shelf, or for adding a touch of décor to your work desk!

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
