The plant in question isn't a true cactus at all, but a succulent called Euphorbia trigona, also known as the African milk tree. Like many columnar euphorbias, it can shoot up rapidly indoors if it's happy, often outgrowing its space. Luckily, the plant responds well to pruning if done carefully. Prescription The most effective way to manage its height is to top the plant.
