Details

The Euphorbia 'Pencil Cactus', also known as Euphorbia tirucalli, is a distinctive succulent shrub known for its slender, pencil-like stems that grow in an intricate, branching pattern. Its vibrant green stems may develop orange or yellow hues under bright light, earning it the nickname "Firestick Plant" when grown in sunny conditions.

Native to arid regions of Africa and India, this drought-tolerant plant adds a bold, modern aesthetic to any indoor or outdoor space. Its unique structure makes it a perfect statement piece for minimalist or contemporary decor.

  • Common Names: Pencil Cactus, Firestick Plant, Sticks on Fire
  • Botanical Name: Euphorbia tirucalli
  • Size: Grows up to 4-6 feet tall indoors; can reach up to 20 feet outdoors in warm climates.

Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers full sun or bright, indirect light. More sunlight enhances its colorful hues.
  • Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during cooler months. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions. Avoid misting, as excess moisture can lead to fungal issues.
  • Feeding: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus-specific fertilizer. No feeding is necessary in winter.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Adding sand or perlite can enhance drainage.
