The Royal Red African Milk Tree: A Unique Upright Succulent

Euphorbia trigona 'Red Form' is a captivating succulent that will add a touch of the exotic to your plant collection. This unique cultivar is prized for its upright form and intriguing reddish-purple colour, resembling a miniature tree.

Distinctive Features

  • Stems: Upright, three-sided stems with prominent, wavy margins. The stems are typically a vibrant reddish-purple colour and have a waxy texture.
  • Leaves: Small, teardrop-shaped leaves that emerge from the ridges of the stems. The leaves are typically a reddish-green colour and have a smooth texture.
  • Flowers: Rarely flowers in cultivation.
  • Growth Habit: This Euphorbia has a strong upright growth habit. It typically reaches a height of 60-90cm (24-36 inches) indoors but can grow much taller in its natural habitat.

Care Tips

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. While it enjoys some direct sunlight, intense afternoon sun can scorch the stems.
  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to be cautious.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. You can also add perlite or pumice to improve drainage.
  • Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing this succulent to cold draughts or frost.
  • Fertiliser: Use a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Propagation: This Euphorbia can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply remove a healthy stem section, allow it to callus over, and then place it on well-draining soil. Roots will typically form within a few weeks.

Additional Notes

  • Euphorbia trigona 'Red Form' is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced growers.
  • This succulent is a wonderful addition to any indoor garden or as a striking standalone specimen.
  • With its unique texture and intriguing appearance, this Euphorbia is sure to be a conversation starter.
