Be inspired by the African Milk Tree Rubra, a striking succulent renowned for its captivating blend of architectural elegance and vibrant red hues. With its distinctive tri-cornered stems and rich burgundy colouring, this plant commands attention in any space.

Native to arid regions of Africa, this Euphorbia thrives in conditions that mimic its natural habitat. Provide it with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant red pigmentation, but be cautious not to expose it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause sunburn and damage the plant.

In terms of care, this succulent is relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts alike. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

While its unique appearance and striking coloration make it a stunning standalone specimen, this African Milk Tree also complements a wide range of interior design styles, from modern minimalist to an eclectic bohemian ensemble. Whether displayed on a windowsill, shelf, or as a focal point in a succulent arrangement, this eye-catching plant is sure to make a statement in any indoor space.

Please note: The latex found inside Euphorbia can lead to irritation on the skin and can be toxic to pets and humans if consumed.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to keep your African Milk Tree healthy and happy.

  • Water: Water thoroughly approximately every 2 weeks, let the soil dry out slightly in between.
  • Light: Plenty of direct sunlight - a few hours per day.
  • Humidity: Dry air is best, do not mist.
  • Fertilise: Feed your tree every 2 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the spring & summer growing season.
  • Available for Shipping Nationwide
