Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ (African Milk Tree)

Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ is a highly architectural succulent, great for adding vertical interest in your succulent garden or house. It features triangular columns with teardrop shaped leaves lining the ridges. The green stems have a blotchy pattern, and may flush to red when ‘happily stressed’. Stress factors include cold/hot temperatures, drought conditions, and sun exposure. The leaves are known to fall off over time, but don’t worry, the stems are striking on their own!

Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Requires little water once established. Ideal in warm climate landscapes, rock gardens and container gardens, but is especially happy sitting on your bright windowsill as a houseplant
