Description

The listing, Euphorbia tirucalli (Pencil Cactus, Pencil Tree, Fire Sticks, Sticks of Fire) has ended.

Euphorbia tirucalli (Pencil Cactus, Pencil Tree, Fire Sticks, Sticks of Fire)

5 UNROOTED CUTTINGS – Approximately 5 - 6 inches in length. (Planting instructions included)

FREE SHIPPING!

These cuttings are very easy to root and the plant grows fast in a pot, or even faster in the ground.

Simply place cut tip into potting soil and keep slightly moist (allow cut surface to callous over before planting).

Once established it is care free and can easily handle drought.

They turn red at the tips in bright sunlight. They will grow indoors in a container, but may not stay red.

It is drought tolerant but cold hardy only to about 30 degrees F.
Other details:

This is one of the heaviest latex producers of all species of Euphorbia which share the same milky white sap. It is caustic and therefore plants must be handled with care to avoid contaminating the eyes. Beware of use where pets and children share its space.

I have won some from you before but would love to win some more! When do they turn red or how do I get them to ?

Right now the tips on my pencil Cactus are red. It is exposed to full sun. It will also turn red in the winter. These are cold hardy only to about 30 degrees F.
