Cactus Fire Stick 6"

Fire Stick Cactus, Milk Bush, Pencil Cactus, Pencil Tree

Euphorbia tirucalli

Fascinating! These living sculptures photosynthesize using their spineless, succulent stems, that change color through the year.

Native to the African savannah.

Bright, indirect light, low humidity, with a coarse sandy well draining soil mix. Water when dry. Be cautious of the sap and thorns, gloves are a good idea. Keep out of reach from pets and children, and above 65°F. 2-4’T x W.

Plant nerd info: the sap contains latex, which can be used to create rubber.
