African Milk Tree – Indoor Succulent

The African Milk Tree is a striking, architectural succulent with upright, ridged stems and small leaves that add a sculptural touch to your space. Its unusual shape makes it a great feature plant for bright rooms, offices and sunny corners.

Available as a 12cm option with two stems or a 17cm established plant.

Why You’ll Love It

With its strong shape and sculptural form, the African Milk Tree adds plenty of character without needing a lot of space. It works particularly well as a feature plant where you want something a little different from traditional leafy indoor plants.

A Note on Size

The nursery pot size refers to the diameter of the pot the plant is growing in and does not indicate the overall height of the plant. Individual plants can vary in height, shape and fullness.

Plant Care

Allow the soil to dry out well between watering. When watering, give the plant a thorough drink and allow excess water to drain away before returning it to its usual position.

A bright position will help maintain strong, healthy growth. Avoid keeping the soil constantly damp, particularly during cooler months.
