10 - 20cm Euphorbia Trigona Cactus 12cm Pot House Plant

Euphorbia Trigona, also known as African milk tree, is a unique and stunning succulent with green, triangular stems and small leaves that fall off as the plant matures. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Euphorbia Trigona healthy and thriving:

1. Light: Euphorbia Trigona prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves and damage the plant.

2. Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water the plant thoroughly, and then allow the excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues.

3. Humidity: Euphorbia Trigona does not require high humidity and can tolerate dry indoor conditions.

4. Temperature: Euphorbia Trigona prefers warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.

5. Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus or succulent fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).

6. Pruning: You can prune the plant to control its size and shape or to remove any damaged or yellowing stems. This will also help promote new growth.

7. Repotting: Euphorbia Trigona does not require frequent repotting and can remain in the same pot for several years. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.

8. Pests: Euphorbia Trigona can be prone to mealybugs and spider mites. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.

9. Toxicity: Euphorbia Trigona is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation, so handle the plant with care and keep it away from pets and children.

Following these care tips will help your Euphorbia Trigona thrive and stay healthy. With proper care, this unique plant can be a beautiful addition to any indoor garden.
