Euphorbia trigona 'Green', also known as the African Milk Tree, is a striking and easy-to-care-for succulent that's native to Central Africa. It’s well-loved for its architectural form and rapid growth, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.

Leaf Characteristics:

• Appearance: Euphorbia trigona 'Green' has vertical, branching stems that resemble a cactus, with three-sided segments and rows of short spines along the edges.

• Foliage: Tiny leaves sprout along the ridges of the stems, typically appearing at the tip of each growth segment. The leaves are bright green, which complement the deeper green of the stems.

Growth and Size:

• Form: Upright and branching, this plant can quickly become quite tall, making it an excellent choice as a floor plant or an outdoor specimen in warmer climates.

• Size: It can grow up to 6 to 8 feet tall under the right conditions, though it is often shorter when grown indoors.

Care Guidelines:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. Too much direct sunlight may cause the leaves and stems to scorch.

• Watering: As with most succulents, Euphorbia trigona 'Green' is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, typical for cacti and succulents.

• Temperature: Not frost-tolerant; it should be protected from freezing temperatures.

Special Considerations:

• Sap: The sap of Euphorbia trigona is toxic and can cause irritation to skin and eyes, so it’s important to handle with care, especially during pruning or repotting.

• Pests: Generally resistant to pests, but may occasionally be susceptible to spider mites and mealybugs, especially when grown indoors.

Uses and Placement:

• Indoor Use: Makes an excellent indoor plant due to its vertical growth and minimal footprint. It works well in corners or as a backdrop for shorter plants.

• Outdoor Use: In frost-free climates, it can be planted in the ground where it will add a dramatic and sculptural element to the garden.

Euphorbia trigona 'Green' is valued not only for its distinctive appearance but also for its adaptability and ease of care, making it a favorite among plant enthusiasts looking for a low-maintenance yet visually striking plant.
