6" Pencil Cactus

Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli, also known as Firestick Plant or Milk Bush)
The Pencil Cactus is a striking, sculptural succulent known for its tall, branching stems that resemble a bundle of vivid green pencils. In bright light, the tips can turn orange, pink, or red—earning it the nickname Firestick Plant. Despite its cactus-like look, it’s actually a type of euphorbia, making it both hardy and dramatic—perfect for modern, desert-inspired spaces.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Loves bright, direct light—place near a sunny window or outdoors in full sun for best color
💧 Water: Very drought tolerant; water only when the soil is completely dry
🌫 Humidity: Thrives in dry air; no misting needed
❄️ Temperature: Prefers warmth (65–90°F); protect from cold or frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic if ingested; sap can irritate skin and eyes)

Fun Fact: The Pencil Cactus contains a milky sap that was once used in traditional practices as a fuel source—though it’s highly toxic and should never be handled without care. In nature, it can grow over 20 feet tall, but indoors it stays a manageable, sculptural size. 🌿✨
