Description
Large Euphorbia Cactus with three varieties to choose from.
The Euphorbia Ingens (also known as the Cowboy Cactus Plant) is a succulent that looks like a cactus tree. Euphorbia Ingens needs full sun, which means they need to get direct sunlight for at least six hours on a daily basis. They grow well when planted outdoors in a sunny spot. If you plan to grow this plant indoors, you must place it near a window that gets lots of sunlight. Euphorbia Ingens will actively grow from spring to the autumn, that is when it should get the right amount of water, make sure that the top two inches of soil are never dry’s out.
Euphorbia Trigona Rubra and Trigona Green , known as the African Milk Tree (because of the milky sap contained in the stems) is an easy-care indoor plant that comes from Africa. The Rubra variety is known for its contrasting deep green stems and red leaves. The colour contrast makes it a beautiful plant to have all year round. Theses succulents prefer bright light, direct sunlight is ok, but moderately. Like most succulents, the Euphorbia Trigona can get damaged by intense sun and extreme heat. Do not overwater. Allow the soil to dry out before watering. The succulent is drought-tolerant for short periods of time. It prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 15-27°C. You might want to apply a dose of liquid fertilizer in the summer to encourage growth. Bloom time is spring/summer although they can be very slow to flower so patience and the right conditions are needed to see full potential.
Please note that all Euphorbia sap can cause skin/eye irritation and is poisonous, therefore needs to be kept out of reach of small children and pets.
