The Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli), also known as Milk Bush or Firestick Plant, is a unique, low-maintenance succulent shrub native to Africa and India. It features slender, cylindrical, green stems that resemble pencils, with small, inconspicuous leaves that fall off as the plant matures. When exposed to bright sunlight, the tips of the stems can turn a striking red, orange, or yellow, giving rise to the name "Firestick Plant."
Care & Growth Requirements
Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight but can tolerate partial shade.
Watering: Requires minimal watering; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Well-draining, sandy, or cactus mix soil is ideal.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (above 50°F/10°C) and is not frost-tolerant.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings, but handle with care due to its toxic sap.
Toxicity Warning
The milky sap of the Pencil Cactus is highly toxic and can cause skin irritation, eye inflammation, and severe discomfort if ingested. Always wear gloves when handling or pruning.
