Live Pencil Cactus Plant in 4 Inch Pot - Euphorbia Tirucalli
Category: Euphorbia succulents
Native to semi-arid tropical regions of Africa and India, the Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli), also known as milk bush for its thick, white sap, can reach heights of up to 30 feet in the wild and over 6 feet indoors. Unlike true cacti, this stem succulent performs photosynthesis in its stems rather than its small, inconsequential leaves at the end of new growth.
Characterized by slender, slightly toothed stems devoid of foliage, the Pencil Cactus earns its name from branches that resemble pencils in diameter. New branches may exhibit a hint of pink at the tips and tiny leaves, which disappear as the branch matures.
Thriving in high light and moderate moisture conditions, the Pencil Cactus is an ideal houseplant that adds a unique silhouette to any space. It flourishes in bright, full sun, making a sunny windowsill the perfect spot. The plant thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 70°F, avoiding drops below 50°F for optimal growth.
