Botanical Name:
Euphorbia tirucalli
Common Names:
Fire Sticks, Pencil Tree
Plant Category:
Succulent/Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
Euphorbia tirucalli, commonly known as Fire Sticks or Pencil Tree, is a striking succulent with tall, slender, green stems that turn vibrant red or orange at the tips when exposed to full sunlight, creating a fiery appearance. The plant has a branching, tree-like growth habit that adds a sculptural element to any collection. The unique color changes and vertical growth make it a dramatic addition to succulent arrangements or garden beds. In the summer, it can produce small, inconspicuous yellow flowers.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun. Full sun encourages the vibrant red coloration and optimal growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Euphorbia tirucalli is generally dormant in the winter and requires minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Easily propagated by stem cuttings.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Euphorbia tirucalli is toxic to both humans and pets. Handle with care, as the plant’s milky sap can cause skin irritation.
