Firestick Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli)

Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli)

Add a striking and low-maintenance addition to your indoor plant collection with the Pencil Cactus. Native to Africa and India, this unique succulent can reach heights of 2 to 6 feet indoors, offering a bold visual presence in any space. During cooler months, the Pencil Cactus transforms, displaying vibrant hues of red, orange, pink, and yellow as it responds to environmental changes.

As a succulent, the Pencil Cactus stores water in its stems, making it extremely drought-tolerant and ideal for plant enthusiasts seeking a low-care option. Simply water deeply when the soil is dry, then allow it to fully dry out before the next watering. The Pencil Cactus thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but may need some shade during particularly hot summer months.

While not a true cactus, the Pencil Cactus boasts thick, cylindrical stems that shed their small green leaves over time, leaving behind an intriguing, bare-stemmed silhouette. Perfect for small spaces and those new to houseplants, it is both visually captivating and easy to care for.

Care Instructions:

• Water deeply when soil is dry; allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Place in bright, indirect sunlight.
• Use a well-draining potting mix.
• Fertilize once a month during spring and summer.
• Handle with care, as the sap is toxic and can irritate skin.

NOT PET FRIENDLY: TOXIC to dogs and cats according to the ASPCA
