Euphorbia 'Pencil Cactus'

Euphorbia 'Pencil Cactus'

Botanical Name: Euphorbia tirucalli

Common Names: Pencil Cactus, Indian tree spurge, 

Description: The Euphorbia ‘Pencil Cactus’ is a unique and eye-catching succulent that will make a bold statement in your plant collection! 

Native to tropical Africa, this plant gets its name from its long, thin, pencil-like stems that are a striking shade of green, sometimes with a reddish hue at the tips. Despite its delicate appearance, the Pencil Cactus is surprisingly tough and can thrive in a variety of conditions.

It’s an incredibly low-maintenance plant, perfect for those who love greenery but don't want to spend too much time on care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and needs very little water—let the soil dry out completely between waterings. However, be cautious when handling it, as it produces a milky, toxic sap that can cause skin irritation. Keep it out of reach of pets and children. Add this spiky beauty to your home for a modern, desert-inspired vibe!
