Euphorbia Trigona Cactus - African Milk Tree
Despite its name, the Euphorbia trigona, commonly known as the African Milk Tree, is actually a succulent rather than a true cactus. Native to West Africa, it can also be found in tropical regions of Asia and India. This unique plant features spiny stems and small leaves that grow along the edges of its stalks. Its distinctive name comes from the milky white sap that oozes out when the plant is cut or broken.
The Euphorbia trigona is relatively easy to care for, but it does require occasional dusting to keep its pores clear, allowing the plant to "breathe." Since it has shallow roots, it can become top-heavy, so you may need to support it with canes to prevent it from tipping over.
