Botanical name: Euphorbia trigona (Green Form)
Also known as: African Milk Tree, Cathedral Cactus, Good Luck Cactus

An architectural succulent with upright three-sided green stems edged with tiny leaflets, Euphorbia trigona brings clean lines and height to bright rooms. Hardy and drought tolerant, it thrives on minimal care while delivering a bold, sculptural silhouette that pairs well with modern or minimalist décor.

☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun indoors. Acclimate to direct sun to prevent scorch.

💧 Water: Let soil dry out fully between waterings. Water less in winter to avoid root rot.

🌫️ Humidity: Average home humidity is ideal. No extra boosting needed.

📏 Size: Typically 3–6 feet tall and 1–2 feet wide over time. Upright, columnar habit.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet-friendly. Milky latex sap is toxic if ingested and can irritate skin and eyes.

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Sunny windows, entryways, and minimalist corners in tall or stone planters.

💡 Pro Tip: Use a very fast-draining cactus mix and a pot with drainage. Rotate monthly for even growth. Keep above 55°F. Wear gloves and avoid contact with sap when pruning.
