We just got a 6 foot tall plant
Looking for good advice as to care maintenance watering and light.

We have a covered outdoor patio that gets pretty good light.

This thing does not need to be watered that much at all correct?

Do you have the name right?

Euphorbia trigona is called African Milk Tree. La Patrona has had one of those for 15 years and we moved it from College Station to Austin to Oregon to Flower Mound.

Can't help you with Euphorbia drupifera.

Along with good light they need well drained soil. A pot with a drain hole is best so you can water it thoroughly without the roots sitting in damp soil.

A picture would help.

Regardless, don't get the sap (milk) on you. Some euphorbia sap can really mess you up.

I'm more interested in the similarity of our habitats. I went from College Station to Flower Mound, and then to Oregon. If you say West Linn I then I know you're %#%^ with me
