Euphorbia Cactus

Euphorbia trigona Rubra (also called Red African Milk Tree) may be the plant for you if you want easy to care. This succulent/cactus features a series of thick reddish-purple stems that store moisture. This helps it to survive if you forget to water it for a few weeks. It grows upright, so you can enjoy it in relatively narrow spaces like bright corners. Care Zones 10 - 11. Euphorbias can be adapted to tolerating higher levels of direct sunlight but it will take some training before it would be happy to tolerate full sun on a window sill all day. Bright indirect to direct light. Protect from hot afternoon sun. Let dry slightly between watering. Decrease watering significantly in winter. Growth Habit 15’ tall in the wild - much smaller in a pot in your home. Toxicity TOXIC. Keep away from children and pets. The milky white sap is irritating to skin and mucous membranes and can cause multiple serious issues.
