Verdeia tips
- Upon receipt, take the plant out of its box and allow it 24 to 48 hours to acclimate in a bright place without direct sunlight.
- Check the soil moisture before watering; add a little water only if the surface is dry.
- Avoid heat sources and drafts, and keep a slightly humid atmosphere to preserve the beauty of the foliage.
- Wait 2 to 3 weeks before any repotting, allowing the plant time to stabilize.
- Gently wipe the leaves to remove dust and observe them: slight stress during the first few days is completely normal.

Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ — Red Candelabra Tree
☀️ Sun / Bright interior • 🌵 Deep red foliage • 💧 Low watering • 🪴 Easy care
Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’, also called red candelabra tree or African Milk Tree, captivates with its slender stems tinted deep red. Halfway between natural sculpture and graphic houseplant, it embodies the perfect blend of robustness and exotic elegance.
Native to tropical Africa, this succulent stands out for its vertical growth and great resilience. Its majestic form and unique color make it a standout plant for contemporary interiors bathed in light.
Exposure & Location
Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ prefers bright to very bright locations. It tolerates gentle full sun, especially behind glass, and favors a warm, dry environment.
- Exposure: sun or bright interior.
- Ideal: living room, veranda, office, or sheltered terrace in summer.
- Temperature: between 18 and 28 °C, avoid cold (minimum 12 °C).
- Substrate: light, sandy, and very draining (cactus mix).
Verdeia tip: turn your Euphorbia a quarter turn each week for balanced and harmonious growth.
Watering & Care
- Watering: low; every 2 to 3 weeks in summer, very little in winter.
- Drainage: essential to avoid water stagnation.
- Fertilizer: once a month from spring to autumn with a mild succulent fertilizer.
- Pruning: unnecessary, except to remove damaged segments (with gloves).
- General care: very easy, suitable even for beginners.
Always handle with gloves: its white sap is irritating to the skin.
Decor Ideas & Plant Combinations
Its deep red hue makes Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’ a bold decorative accent. It visually structures spaces and fits wonderfully into modern or Mediterranean decor.
- To pair with: Sansevieria zeylanica, Opuntia, or Aloe vera for a graphic and bright ensemble.
- Ideal pot: matte beige ceramic or decorative pot terracotta to highlight its dark color.
- Ambiance: perfect for a design living room, contemporary office, or sheltered urban terrace.
A mulch of light gravel or sand will enhance the depth of its red tones.
Verdeia Tips
- Water sparingly: excess water is the only real mistake to avoid.
- Provide a bright and warm exposure to reveal its intense red hue.
- Use a draining soil and a pot with drainage holes to avoid stagnant moisture.
