Product Description 

Euphorbia Trigona also known as "AFRICAN MILK TREE" This succulent shrub has an upright stem and many branches that also grow upward. The stem and branches can have two or three sides. The stem itself is dark green with V-shaped light green patterns. Somewhat common in cultivation as a houseplant or as a hedge, the species is one of the euphorbias with succulent stems and branches.

Watering: Euphorbia Trigona is well-suited to arid environments and thrives in dry conditions, making it a low-maintenance choice for outdoor gardens. Watering should be infrequent, especially during the growing season, which is typically spring and summer. It is crucial to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to exercise caution. During the dormant winter months, further reduce watering to prevent moisture-related issues. In general, a "less is more" approach to watering is best for the Euphorbia Trigona.

Light: This cactus craves plenty of sunlight to maintain its healthy appearance and vibrant color. It flourishes in full sun, so it should be placed in a location where it receives direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Inadequate light can result in the cactus becoming elongated and losing its characteristic shape. In regions with intense summer heat, some afternoon shade may be beneficial to prevent sunburn, but overall, Euphorbia Trigona is a sun-loving plant.

Basic Care: Caring for Euphorbia Trigona is relatively straightforward, but there are some key guidelines to follow. Plant it in well-draining soil, ideally a cactus mix or sandy soil, to prevent water retention around the roots. A container with drainage holes or well-draining soil in a garden bed is essential. Fertilization is minimal, with a half-strength cactus fertilizer applied sparingly during the growing season.

Protection from extreme cold is crucial for this cactus, as it is not frost-tolerant. In regions with harsh winters, consider bringing it indoors or providing appropriate protection. Pruning is rarely necessary, but you can remove damaged or dead spines with tweezers if needed.

In summary, Euphorbia Trigona is a remarkable outdoor plant that adds a touch of desert beauty to gardens. By adhering to these care guidelines, including infrequent watering, abundant sunlight, and appropriate soil, you can enjoy the stunning appearance of the Euphorbia Trigona in your outdoor landscape while ensuring its health and longevity.
