The Euphorbia Trigona ‘Rubra' resembles a cactus, but is actually a succulent plant that hails from Africa. This tough beauty has thick stalks with spines and cactus-like ‘arms’ covered with stunning burgundy red leaves.

He grows rapidly and is super easy to maintain. Because of its milky white sap and African origin, the Euphorbia is often nicknamed the ‘African Milk Tree’. Other nicknames he goes by are the ‘Good Luck Plant’ and the ‘Friendship Cactus’, but do not let these nicknames fool you! The Euphorbia is super forgiving and easy to care for, but also highly toxic. The white milky sap of the Euphorbia plant is poisonous when ingested and can also cause skin and eye irritation, so do not hug him and keep him away from pets and children.

Everything about Euphorbia

The botanical name Euphorbia is named after Euphorbos, a famous Greek physician. Euphorbos wrote that one of the cactus-like Euphorbia (now called Euphorbia Obtusifolia) was used as a powerful laxative. In 1753, the botanist Carl Linnaeus first described the entire genus and gave it the name Euphorbia.

Euphorbias are great houseplants. They're not too picky, so they're perfect for both beginners and experienced plant parents. The only thing you need to remember is to put them in a bright spot. So why not give Euphorbia a try?
