Pencil Cactus Plant - Euphorbia Tirucalli

Description: Pencil Cactus Plant - Euphorbia Tirucalli The Pencil Plant (Euphorbia Tirucalli) is a succulent native to South and East Africa. The plant’s namesake branches are pencil-like and grow upward in a candelabra pattern. Young branches are cylindrical, smooth, and green, but with age can turn gray and rough like tree bark. Its leaves are small and slender and fall off quickly. The pencil cactus can grow quite large in the wild—up to 30 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. Indoors, the plant will stay at a more manageable 2-6 feet tall and 1-3 feet wide. In favorable conditions, it is able to grow between two and 20 inches in a single season. The Pencil Cactus is very easy to grow. It thrives in bright indirect light to direct sun and not suited for low light conditions. Water every one to two weeks allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Increase frequency in watering with increased light. Average home humidity is fine since the Pencil Cactus can tolerate dry air and prefers temperatures of 65°F-70°F. Average home temperature is generally suitable. This succulent should be handled with care as it yields a highly toxic milky sap if broken or torn. The plant will be shipped with bare roots to reduce shipping charges. It will arrive ready to pot in your preferred potting medium. Its roots will be kept moistened and wrapped for transit.
