Euphorbia trigona 'Rubra', commonly known as the African Milk Tree or Royal Red, is a striking succulent native to Central Africa. This plant is celebrated for its upright, triangular stems adorned with vibrant red hues, making it a popular choice for indoor cultivation.

Key Characteristics:

  • Foliage: The stems are triangular with three to four ridges, each lined with small, reddish-brown spines. The leaves are teardrop-shaped and emerge between the spines, adding to the plant's unique appearance.

  • Growth Habit: Euphorbia trigona 'Rubra' exhibits a candelabra-like growth pattern, with branches extending from the main stem, creating a bushy, tree-like form. It can reach heights of up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) indoors.

Cultivation and Care:

  • Light: Place the plant in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may cause the red coloration to fade.

  • Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

  • Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. A mix designed for succulents or cacti is ideal.

  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but is adaptable to average indoor humidity levels.
