Euphorbia trigona | African Milk Tree

Euphorbia trigona, also known as the African Milk Tree, is a unique flowering plant hailing from Central Africa. Its stems are adorned with spines and small leaves that wrap around the edges. When cut or broken, the plant exudes a milky white sap, earning its name. However, this sap is toxic, so if you have curious children or pets, it might be best to keep this plant out of reach. It thrives in warm, sunny locations, but isn't afraid of a little bit of chill with tolerance for temperatures as low as −3 °C.
