African Milk Trees require very little attention and are mostly self-sufficient. With just an inch of water every 10 days or so and a nice, sunny, bright position, these stunning cacti add a great feature to any room.
African Milk Tree Cactus
Care Instructions
- Light: Give your African milk tree all the bright light possible. While this plant requires at least one-half day of direct sun each day, it will tolerate several hours of partial sun if necessary. If you must grow it indoors, keep it near a sunny window.
- Water: Prefers to be dry rather than moist - they mostly die from overwatering rather than underwatering! A small drink once a week at the maximum is all that's required.
- Temperature: Keep him in a room with good air circulation, and away from your airconditioning vent if you've got the cold blasting!
- Soil: A rich, well-drained potting mix, preferably on the dryer side.
