About the African Milk Tree
Natively found in West Africa, the African Milk Tree is not a traditional tree but a perennial succulent with a robust, upright stem. Its deep green stem is adorned with spiky branches, giving it a striking cacti-like appearance. A unique feature of this plant is the milky white sap it produces, which can cause skin irritation, so handle with care.
Caring for Your African Milk Tree
This low-maintenance houseplant is perfect for those who want beauty without the fuss. It prefers bright, indirect light and requires minimal watering—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent overwatering. Protect it from cold drafts and ensure it has a well-draining potting mix for optimal growth.
