# Hi, I have an African Milk Tree. It has become ENORMOUS like 2m tall…

_Publicado por Denver el 2024-06-06_

Hi, I have an African Milk Tree. It has become ENORMOUS like 2m tall and I’ve had to put stakes in to secure it after repotting. It has never grown any little side leaves and has never flowered… Am I doing something wrong?

It might not be getting enough light

It keeps growing tall without branching as it tries to find light. Consider adding a pendulum grow light above it or add a floor standing tall light bar.

Thanks. It’s the sunniest room! I will try a grow light. 👍🏼

Cacti need a lot of light, unfortunately.
