Euphorbia:
African Milk Tree care:
The African milk tree is a tough, architectural succulent that thrives on minimal attention. Give it the basics, and it will reward you with tall, dramatic growth.
Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal. It tolerates some sun, but harsh afternoon rays can scorch it.
Water
Water only when the soil is fully dry—usually every 2–4 weeks in warm seasons and far less in winter. Overwatering is the biggest danger.
Soil & Pot
Use a fast-draining cactus mix and a pot with drainage. This plant cannot sit in wet soil.
Temperature
Keep it warm: 65–85°F (18–29°C). It’s not frost-tolerant, so bring outdoor plants in before cold nights.
Pruning
Prune to shape or control height, but wear gloves—the milky sap is irritating and toxic to pets and people.
Fertilizer
Feed lightly with a diluted cactus fertilizer during spring and summer; skip winter feeding.
