Royal Red | Euphorbia trigona ‘Rubra’

Upright, three-sided green stems and deep burgundy leaves give Royal Red a bold, branching silhouette. Its rich color brings a striking contrast to a bright plant shelf.

The Euphorbia trigona species is native to Central Africa; ‘Rubra’ is its cultivated red-leaved form, rather than a separate wild species. Give it a bright spot and room for its sculptural stems to stand out.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright light; introduce direct sun gradually to avoid scorching.
• Water: Water when the soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain away.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage.
• Temperature: Keep warm and protect from frost.
• Safety: Handle with care around the stem edges. Damaged stems may release milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes; keep away from pets and children.
