Description

The Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli) is a succulent plant native to Africa and India. It is a popular houseplant because of its unique appearance. It has long, thin branches that resemble pencils. The branches are green and smooth, and they grow in a candelabra-like shape. It does not have any leaves, and it blooms with small, yellow flowers in the spring.

A low-maintenance plant, it prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Water every one to two weeks allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Increase frequency in summer, avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

The Pencil Cactus is a unique and beautiful easy-to-care-for plant that is perfect for any home. 

Here are some additional tips:

• Repot every two to three years, or when it outgrows its pot.
• Use a well-draining potting mix specifically for succulents.
• A light application of fertilizer once a month during the spring and summer.
• Prune the Pencil Cactus regularly to encourage new growth and to keep it in shape.
• Protect the Pencil Cactus from frost.
• TOXIC to Pet Safe 

Every plant is unique, it will have its own distinct form, size, and character; you should expect some variation in your plant from the photographs.
