Euphorbia trigona aka African Milktree

Euphorbia trigona, commonly known as the African milk tree, cathedral cactus, or Abyssinian euphorbia, is a species of flowering plant native to Central Africa. It is well-known for its succulent stems and branches, which are an adaptation to arid climates. This tender and slow-growing shrub can reach a height of 1.8m (6ft) and has upright, green, three to four-sided stems with short-lived oval leaves. Along the ridges of the stems, persistent reddish-brown spines can be found, while variable, pale grey-green V-shaped bands run along each side. In spring and summer, small pale-green flowers may appear at the tops of the stems, although they are unlikely to bloom when grown indoors. The African milk tree is a highly sought-after decorative plant that adds a dramatic touch to any landscape. It is also known by other names such as the cathedral cactus, candelabra cactus, friendship cactus, and good luck cactus, although it is technically a succulent. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, this plant remains lush and green, making it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts.
