Variant

Euphorbia Mint Cream, aka Euphorbia trigona cv. 'Mint Cream', also known as Milk Cream, is a striking and rare cultivar of the Euphorbia trigona species, commonly referred to as the African Milk Tree. It stands out with its creamy white and light green variegated leaves that run along the ridges of its vertical, triangular stems. This variegation gives the plant a distinctive, frosted appearance, contrasting beautifully against the deep green background of the stems. Like its non-variegated counterpart, 'Mint Cream' grows upright and can become quite tall, making it an impressive architectural element in any indoor plant collection. The plant's sturdy, spiky appearance is softened by the delicate coloration of its foliage.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Euphorbia Mint Cream

Sun: Direct & Indirect

Euphorbia Lactea enjoys some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It is best to place this plant somewhere where it will receive some nice morning sun, or a couple hours of afternoon sun, and then indirect light the rest of the day.

Light: Medium - Bright

Euphorbia Lactea will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

Euphorbia Lactea likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 4 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist Euphorbia Lactea or put them in an enclosed terrarium.

Pet Caution

Euphorbia Lactea is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Euphorbia Mint Cream, a captivating and visually striking houseplant that not only enhances the aesthetic of any indoor space but also symbolizes resilience, adaptability, and the refreshing beauty of unique botanical forms.

The Euphorbia Mint Cream stands out with its unique variegation, displaying a lush blend of creamy white and soft green tones that evoke a sense of freshness and vitality. This variegation covers its succulent leaves, which are arranged in a dense, bushy form, giving the plant a full and vibrant appearance. The creamy white often dominates, with mint green highlights creating a soothing and attractive pattern.

To care for your Euphorbia Mint Cream, provide it with bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can cause the colours to fade or the plant to become scorched. The ideal lighting condition highlights its variegation and promotes healthy growth, reflecting the plant's need for a nurturing but not overpowering environment.

Watering should be done with care. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as Euphorbia Mint Cream is drought-tolerant and prone to overwatering issues like root rot. This watering strategy teaches us the importance of moderation and attentiveness, providing just what is necessary without excess.

The Euphorbia Mint Cream is not just a beautiful addition to your collection; it's also a representation of endurance and the ability to thrive under varied conditions. Its succulent nature allows it to store water and endure periods of dryness, embodying the resilience needed to thrive in changing environments.

As your Euphorbia Mint Cream matures, it becomes not just a plant but a symbol of thriving in diversity and the beauty of adaptation. It serves as a reminder of how resilience and beauty can coexist, offering daily inspiration in the form of its striking appearance and low-maintenance care.

Welcome the Euphorbia Mint Cream into your home, and let it be a living emblem of nature's resilience, the soothing beauty of its cream and green hues, and the joy of nurturing a unique and visually appealing plant. It's not just a plant; it's a testament to the enriching presence of nature in our lives and the strength found in adaptability.
