The "Euphorbia Fire Sticks" (Euphorbia tirucalli), also known as "Sticks on Fire" or "Pencil Cactus," is a succulent plant that is popular for its striking appearance. Here are some key details about it:
- Appearance: It has thin, cylindrical branches that are initially green and turn a vibrant red, orange, or yellow when exposed to bright sunlight. This coloration gives it the name "Fire Sticks."
- Care:
- Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Bright light enhances its color.
- Water: Needs minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
- Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. Cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Toxicity: Euphorbia tirucalli is toxic. The sap can cause skin irritation and should be handled with care. It's important to keep it away from pets and children.
- Propagation: Can be propagated from cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry and callous before planting them in soil.
- Uses: Often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and as a houseplant. Its unique appearance makes it a striking addition to any plant collection.
