• African Milk Tree
  

  African Milk Tree

  Central Africa

  

  Light

  Thrives in bright direct light, but can tolerate bright indirect light.

  

  Water

  Water every 2-3 weeks in direct light, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

  

  Fun Fact

  The African Milk Tree may have spiky edges and a tall, column-like shape, but it’s a succulent, not a cactus. The key difference? Unlike cacti, it doesn't grow areoles (those little bump-like structures where spines emerge), proving looks can be deceiving!

As water cups tend to collect debris, empty out each week and add new water. Bromeliads can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.

  Water

  Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Alocasia can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.

  

  Fun Fact

  Alocasia form bulbs called corms underground from which new Alocasia babies can grow.
