Common names include: African Milk tree, Red Cathedral Cactus, Milktree Plant | Scientific name: Euphorbia trigona |Shipped well-rooted & potted in a 4 inch plastic pot with soil and ready for a size up! It has an upright stem and number of branches that also grow upward. The stem and branches can have two or three sides. The stem itself has a special dark red color instead of the normal dark green with V-shaped light green patterns. The 5 mm (1/4 in) thorns occur in pairs on the stem's ridges. The drop shaped leaves grow from between the two thorns on each ridge. The plant has never been known to flower, and is possibly a hybrid. The trigona can withstand brief cold temperatures of down to −3 °C (27 °F). It prefers sandy soil but can withstand most types of well-drained soil. It can root easily from stem cuttings, if allowed to dry for 3–7 days before planting so that it can form a callus and not rot. It grows to a height of 1.5–3 m (4 ft 11 in–9 ft 10 in). A Beautiful Danger. As with many other Euphorbia species, the latex from the plant can cause skin irritations. A great benefit is that it is a PEST-FREE plant.
