Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli)

The Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli) is a striking, low-maintenance houseplant known for its unique, pencil-thin stems and intriguing structure. Native to Africa and India, this succulent features long, cylindrical branches that grow upright, often with a slight branching habit. The stems are green but can take on shades of red, orange, or yellow when exposed to bright light or cooler temperatures, giving the plant an ever-changing, vibrant appearance.

Indoors, the Pencil Cactus can grow up to 2-6 feet tall, depending on the space and care it receives, making it a perfect statement piece for homes or offices. Its minimalistic silhouette and bold form make it a favorite among modern plant lovers. As a drought-tolerant succulent, it requires little water and thrives in bright, indirect light.

Care Instructions:

  • Place in bright, indirect sunlight or direct sunlight for the best color.
  • Water when the soil is completely dry; overwatering can cause root rot.
  • Use well-draining, sandy or succulent soil.
  • Thrives in dry indoor environments with low humidity.
  • Fertilize lightly during spring and summer.
  • Handle with care, as the sap can be irritating to skin and is toxic to pets.

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