Consisting of deep green and burgundy red upright stems and admired for their fast growing, easy care nature, these captivating Variegated Red African Milk Trees are perfect for adding a tropical touch to your spaces whilst needing very little attention to thrive! Native to Central and Western Africa, the variety (Euphorbia Trigona) primarily grows in hot, dry regions and rocky areas, and commonly goes by the name 'Cathedral Cactus', despite not being a true cactus. Overall, these are great for gifting and growing due to their beginner-friendly qualities, and a must-have for any fan of tropical or succulent easy care houseplants!
Please note decorative pots are sold separately and your plant may vary naturally to that shown depending on size selected and growth variance. Each plant tends to be different, just like us! This variety's variegation intensity also depends on sun exposure - the more sun it gets, the redder it'll be.

Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.
- All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.
