Euphorbia trigona, commonly known as the African milk tree or the cathedral cactus, is a distinctive succulent plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of West Africa. Despite its name, it is not a true cactus but belongs to the Euphorbia family. This striking plant is characterized by its tall, slender stems with three distinct sides, resembling a green, multi-branched column. It can reach heights of up to 6 feet or more and is known for its low maintenance requirements, making it a popular choice for indoor gardening. Euphorbia trigona is adorned with small leaves along the edges of its stems and is often grown for its unique and architectural appearance. However, it's important to handle it with care as its milky sap can be irritant to the skin and eyes.

How to care for your
Euphorbia trigona
About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 2-4 weeks
Let the plant dry out completely between watering - water when the pot is completely dry. Make sure to plant in fast-draining soil with a drainage hole for best results. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 2-4 weeks.
Sun: direct light
This plant wants as much sun as you can give it—place in south, west, or unobstructed east-facing window. Direct light means 8+ hours of direct sun. Anything less, and you might want to consider a grow light. In the summer, you can put it outside in direct sunlight
Humidity: low
This plant doesn't care about how humid it is. It will work perfectly fine near that vent you want to cover up.
