African Milk Tree

Meet the African Milk Tree (Euphorbia trigona 'Rubra' )! This dramatic, low-maintenance succulent has vibrant reddish-purple stems and leaves that are impossible to ignore. Known for its upright, candelabra-like growth that can reach up to 6 feet indoors, this plant is perfect for those who want a splash of color or architectural interest in their collection. The African Milk Tree’s leaves can be deciduous, meaning it’s normal to see some leaf drop upon arrival due to transit conditions and even at different times throughout the year. Rest assured, new leaves will grow back as the plant adapts to its environment! Note: Our cacti aren’t cuttings—they’re fully rooted plants! This means they’re already established and ready to thrive in their new home. Succulents naturally have shallow roots, so don’t be surprised if that’s what you see, it’s a completely natural trait!
