Euphorbia Firesticks is a striking succulent-like plant known for its thin, upright stems that can turn shades of yellow, orange, red, or coral in bright light. Its bold color and sculptural shape make it a great choice for sunny windows, bright indoor spaces, patios, and succulent collections.
The proper botanical name is commonly listed as Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Sticks on Fire’. It may also be sold as Firesticks, Pencil Cactus, or Sticks on Fire.
Euphorbia Firesticks does best in bright light to direct sun. The brighter the light, the stronger the orange and red coloring tends to be. Too little light may cause greener growth and stretching.
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry and allow water to drain. Euphorbia Firesticks stores moisture in its stems, so it prefers to dry out fully between waterings. Avoid watering too frequently.
Use a very well-draining cactus or succulent mix and a pot with drainage. Adding pumice, perlite, coarse sand, or small gravel can help improve drainage.
Euphorbia Firesticks prefers warm temperatures, bright light, and dry to average indoor humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.
Handle this plant carefully. Euphorbia Firesticks contains a white milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes. Wear gloves when pruning or repotting, and wash hands after handling.
Euphorbia Firesticks is toxic to pets and people if ingested, and the sap can cause irritation. Keep it away from cats, dogs, small children, and high-traffic areas.
