The African Milk Tree stands tall and proud, a triangular-stemmed marvel that commands attention. Native to Central Africa, this succulent features small leaves and protective spines that give it a distinctive silhouette unlike anything else in your collection.

Most people mistake him for a cactus with leaves at first glance, but this Euphorbia has his own unique personality. He grows quickly enough to reward your patience without demanding much in return. Plant parents love him for his forgiving nature and dramatic presence - turning empty corners into focal points and blank walls into living art. Just keep him away from curious pets and children, as his milky sap packs a toxic punch behind that elegant exterior. With proper care, this striking succulent could be making statements in your home for decades to come!


Care

How easy is it to take care of an African Milk Tree cactus? 

The African Milk Tree is very easy to care for. He handles drought well, resists most pests, and thrives with minimal attention - perfect for beginners and busy plant parents. Just don't overwater – that's the one unforgivable sin in this relationship.

What lighting does an African Milk Tree need? 

He prefers bright, indirect sunlight, so a south or west-facing window is perfect indoors. Outside, he likes partial sun but needs protection from harsh midday rays. Yes to a little morning sunshine, but those afternoon rays can be too much.

How often do you water an African Milk Tree? 

Water sparingly and let the soil dry completely between waterings. During spring and summer, water when the top inch of soil feels dry. In winter, cut back significantly. When in doubt, remember: this plant would rather be thirsty than soggy.

Do you need to fertilize an African Milk Plant? 

He's a light eater who knows when to feast and fast. Fertilize once a month during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer or cactus food. Skip completely during fall/winter months, he’s resting and not accepting food deliveries until Spring.

Do African Milk Trees like humidity? 

They prefer dry to average humidity and thrive in normal indoor air. No misting needed, and they don't require extra humidity to grow well, unlike many tropical houseplants.

Unlike fussy ferns and tropical divas, this desert king actually likes the dry conditions of your home. He's doing you a favor by thriving in that arid corner apartment where other plants struggle. No humidifier needed – he likes it simple.


Pet-friendly?

Sadly no - the African Milk Tree is toxic to pets across the board. Keep this striking succulent well out of reach of furry, feathered, or scaled friends unless you enjoy unexpected vet visits.

Is the African Milk Tree toxic to dogs? 

Yes, the African Milk Tree can cause mouth irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling in dogs. The sap can also irritate their skin. No matter how much Fido begs with those puppy eyes, the answer is still "no plant snacking allowed."

Is the African Milk Tree poisonous to cats? 

Eating any part of the African Milk Tree can cause irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling in cats. The sap can also cause a painful skin rash. Best kept in rooms where your feline acrobat rarely performs their jumping routines.



Factoids

What is the African Milk Tree's scientific name? 

The tree’s scientific name is Euphorbia trigona. And yes, you can use this name at your next plant swap to make it sound like you really know your stuff. Just practice saying it a few times first!

Is the African Milk Tree a cactus? 

Contrary to popular misunderstanding, the African Milk Tree is a succulent, not a true cactus. To be fair, he does look like one. He’s the plant world's greatest impersonator – dressing like a cactus but actually belonging to the spurge family.

Is the African Milk Cactus poisonous? 

Yes, he's toxic to both humans and animals. The milky white sap causes skin reactions, and worse if eaten. It’s his built-in defense system - nature's way of saying "look but don't touch". So always wear gloves when handling - he’s sensitive. 

Is an African Milk Tree a type of succulent? 

Yes, and like all good succulents, he stores water in his stems and survives drought conditions that would kill other plants. He’s mastered the art of water storage – always prepared, never caught off guard by a dry spell.

How fast does the African Milk Tree grow? 

Unlike that herb garden that never quite took off, this plant actually delivers on its growth promises. Give him the right spot, and he'll reach new heights faster than your friend's teenager who somehow grew six inches over summer break.

How tall does the African Milk Tree grow? 

Indoors, he can reach 6 feet tall. Outdoors in suitable climates, he might grow to 13 feet or even taller, given enough time and space. He’s not a plant with small dreams. Better check those ceiling heights before you commit!

Why is it called African Milk Tree? 

Sometimes plant names really are wonderfully straightforward – the African Milk Tree is from Africa, makes milky sap, and grows tall like a tree. Wouldn’t it be easier if everything in life were labeled so clearly and honestly!

How long does the African Milk plant live? 

Some specimens survive 60 years or more with proper care. This isn't a short-term plant relationship – it's a lifetime commitment. Outlasting trends, relationships, and possibly even your mortgage. He might even live long enough to become a family heirloom.

What is the friendship cactus? 

The "Friendship cactus" is a nickname for Euphorbia trigona because people often share cuttings with friends. One plant can become many, spreading the green joy quickly through your social circle – just remember to wear those gloves when cutting! 

Can you touch an African Milk Tree? 

This isn't the plant to stroke while deep in thought. Save those tender moments for your non-toxic plants and keep a respectful distance – or at least wear gloves. Touching isn't recommended since the sap irritates skin. Safety first!

Does the African Milk Tree flower indoors? 

Most indoor African Milk Trees will live their entire lives without producing a single bloom, focusing instead on growing taller and bushier. But don’t be sad. If he does decide to bloom, consider it a special occasion worth documenting!

Is the African Milk Tree an indoor plant? 

This striking plant is grown as a houseplant around the world.  He's happy to be a houseplant, bringing a touch of desert drama to your living space year-round. If your climate is warm, he’ll live outdoors, and might even flower!

Are Euphorbia a type of cactus? 

Euphorbias are their own plant family, not cacti. Both developed similar traits like spines and water storage because they evolved in similar dry environments. Nature's way of saying, "This works," even if the family trees branch in completely different directions.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.
