Pencil Cactus: Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Firestick’ – 10 inch pot – 2.5-3 foot tall

The Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Firestick’) is a vibrant succulent known for its cylindrical branches. While the base growth is typically green, the tips turn shades of bright red, orange, and pink when the plant is exposed to high levels of sunlight. This “stress coloring” is its most famous feature, making it a great choice for adding a high-impact pop of color. However, it’s important to handle it with care as its milky sap can be irritant to the skin and eyes.
