Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ – African Milk Tree 🌵🍷

Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ is a sculptural, low-maintenance succulent with upright, cactus-like stems and deep burgundy-red tones. Its striking colour, angular shape, and easy care make it a bold choice for modern interiors. Despite its cactus-like appearance, it’s technically a succulent and not a true cactus.

Key Features:

✔ Tall, architectural form – grows upright with branching arms
✔ Deep red to purple stems and leaves
✔ Drought-tolerant and easy to care for
✔ Fast-growing in the right conditions
✔ Great for bright rooms or sunrooms

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun – at least 4–6 hours daily

Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry – reduce frequency in winter

Humidity: Tolerates normal indoor humidity – avoid overly humid spots

Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix

Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertiliser

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (15–27°C) – protect from frost

🌿 Tip: Be careful when handling – the milky sap is toxic and can irritate skin or eyes. Keep away from pets and children.
