Euphorbia trigona ‘Red’, also called the Red African Milk Tree, is a stunning, sculptural succulent with deep burgundy-red stems and leaves that add bold color and height to any plant collection. Native to Central Africa, this variety is a natural hybrid of Euphorbia trigona and thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. Place it near a south- or west-facing window, where it can soak up plenty of light—brighter exposure helps maintain its rich red coloring, while lower light may cause it to revert to green.
This plant is incredibly low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings, and use a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot. Overwatering is the most common issue, so always err on the dry side. Euphorbia trigona ‘Red’ prefers warm temperatures and low humidity and can grow rapidly in the right conditions, eventually reaching several feet tall indoors. Be cautious when handling—it produces a milky sap that can be irritating to skin and toxic if ingested.
With its upright, branching form and dramatic coloration, Euphorbia trigona ‘Red’ makes a striking statement in modern or minimalist spaces. It pairs beautifully with clay or ceramic pots and looks especially striking grouped with other succulents or cacti. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just looking for a showstopping, low-effort plant, this Euphorbia is a standout choice that brings height, color, and bold personality to your indoor jungle.
