African Milk Tree Bio
Native to the arid landscapes of Central Africa, African Milk Tree, or Euphorbia trigona, is a sculptural succulent known for its tall, upright stems and geometric charm. Its spiny ridges and tiny green leaves create a candelabra-like silhouette that adds bold vertical presence to any space. Fast-growing and drought-tolerant, it brings structure, strength, and striking texture to bright indoor spots.
Light Instructions

African Milk Tree grows best in a space with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly, and can also adapt to spaces with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

African Milk Tree Care

To keep your African Milk Tree looking its best, gently wipe its tall stems with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and allow it to breathe and absorb light more efficiently. Rotate the plant every few weeks so it grows evenly and doesn’t lean toward the light source. If any stems become too tall or unruly, you can carefully prune them back - always wearing gloves, as the plant’s sap can be irritating. Trimmings will not regrow from the cut point, but new branches may form lower on the stem. Over time, your African Milk Tree may outgrow its pot, and when that happens, you can repot it using easyplant’s repotting kit, which provides a larger pot with fresh soil to support continued growth.
