Plant Care
Minimal care is required, making this plant a perfect blend of grandeur and serene simplicity, effortlessly adapting to its environment.
Water
Water the African Milk Tree thoroughly, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, about every 2-3 weeks.
In the winter, reduce watering to once a month or when the soil is completely dry to prevent root rot.
Light
Place your African Milk Tree in bright, indirect sunlight.
It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but too much direct light may scorch its leaves.
Ideally, it thrives in a well-lit room near a window.
Temperature
The African Milk Tree prefers temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C).
It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost and extreme cold.
Avoid placing it in drafts or near heating vents to maintain a stable environment.
