African Milk Tree in in 12cm pot

Euphorbia trigona

This striking, rugged, thorny and easy to care for plant, makes a fantastic house plant.  As the common name suggests, it comes from West Africa where it can be found growing in the wild. Although this plant looks a lot like a Cactus, it is considered a succulent as it grows leaves which cactus do not. African Milk Tree needs a medium to light situation, making a windowsill perfect, and as long as it stays above 12 degrees it will be more than happy. As with many succulents a well-drained soil is ideal and making sure that the soil dries out between watering is best.

Please, note that this plant comes in a standard plastic pot. The ceramic pot is not included.
