How long have you had this plant for? I’ve had mine for a little over a year, but have not noticed much/ if any growth?

I hand my African milk tree since 2013 when I bought it at the Home and garden show it was in a 9 inch pot. It sits alongside my Madagascar palm in a large south facing window, so it gets lots of sunlight all day right now it’s in 16 inch pot in the spring, gonna repot it into something larger. I fertilize it with a cactus fertilizer in the spring.

African milk, trees, love lots of sunlight so the more the better and the bigger the pot you give it the bigger it’ll get since I have mine in a large pot. I only water it once a month and probe the soil to make sure it’s dry before watering, try fertilizing yours in the spring and give it lots of sunlight. Make sure you’re potting media is a cactus blend which is well draining. If it stands in water it’ll rot treated just like you would cactus
