WANTED: African Milk Tree -- Euphorbia trigona
Comments (1)You might try a Google search worded something like: Euphorbia trigona, plant nurseries selling likely that should yield some results. PS: the sap of this plant is a known skin irritant, hope your Mom's OK w/ that. Gloves & goggles are a good idea when handling it!...See MoreAfrican Milk Tree needs help
Comments (18)I saw this happen to dry hot sunny conditions. I don't think it's fungus however, I see no harm using ornamental spray on it as long as you don't over do it. Mine are starting to cork at the base now. It must be hard as wood, if not, it may be something else....See More'African Milk Tree' new leaves shrivelling up
Comments (12)Thank you so much for your fast replies, it is truly appreciated. Yes it has been repotted a few times throughout the past 3 years. I was actually planning on repotting it this weekend. I'm now curious to see if rootbound is the "problem", as it has been the dormant period, but maybe it's waking up now :-) I just thought it was odd that new leaves would start developing at the top and then half way grown they just curl up and die, and then new leaves started again and same thing happened, half way through they curled up and died... I also noticed today that some of the grown leaves have tiny tiny dry holes on them....See MoreArtificial Light For African Milk Tree
Comments (3)Not as good as natural but good enough. I use LED flood light in portable lamp unit on top of mine which helps but not so well. I don't want to go overboard with lighting expense....See Morecactusmcharris, interior BC Z4/5
