Information on plant sizes
All plants are measured from the bottom of the nursery pot to the tip of the plant and if a height is specified, this is an approximate height, not set in stone. As all plants are living things, they will vary in size throughout the year, and we do our best to give a guide as to the size you can expect. If in doubt drop us an email hello@leafculture.co.uk.
Here's a beautiful house plant that will brighten up your space and bring a touch of natural elegance to your home. Meet Euphorbia trigona, a stunning succulent that is easy to care for and has a variety of benefits. Common names for this plant are African milk tree or Abyssinian euphorbia.
One of the standout features of Euphorbia trigona is its striking appearance. Its bright green stems have a unique triangular shape that adds interest and texture to any room. This plant can grow up to 6 feet tall, making it an eye-catching addition to any space.
The small leaves on this plant only show during the growing season and will eventually fall off during colder periods. If you don't give it enough care, the leaves will drop off quicker.
Euphorbia trigona requires minimal watering (not as little as a cactus but still not lots), making it a low-maintenance choice for busy homeowners.
When caring for Euphorbia trigona, it is important to keep it in bright, indirect sunlight and to avoid overwatering. A good way of telling is if you gently squeeze the plant and it feels a bit squishy, then it needs a good drink. It prefers well-draining soil and can be fertilised occasionally during the growing season.
One unique fact about Euphorbia trigona is that it is commonly used in traditional medicine in some parts of the world. The sap of the plant is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat a variety of ailments. While we don't recommend ingesting this plant, it's interesting to learn about the many uses of this versatile plant.
