Euphorbia tirucalli 'Sticks on Fire', also known as Firesticks or Pencil Cactus, is a unique and striking succulent plant that is highly valued for its unusual and colorful appearance. This plant is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family and is native to Africa and India.

The 'Sticks on Fire' can grow up to 6-8 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, forming a shrubby, upright plant with thin, pencil-like stems that are bright orange-red in color. The stems are covered in small, pointed leaves that are shed quickly, leaving the plant with a striking, bare, and colorful appearance.

In the spring and summer months, this plant produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are surrounded by showy, colorful bracts in shades of yellow, red, and orange. The bracts are long-lasting and provide a stunning display of color for several weeks.

This plant is highly adaptable and can be grown in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil and infrequent watering, as it is highly drought-tolerant. The 'Sticks on Fire' is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, making it a great choice for gardens and landscapes in warmer climates.

Overall, Euphorbia tirucalli 'Sticks on Fire' is a unique and low-maintenance plant that adds a burst of color to any garden or landscape. Its bright stems and unusual appearance make it a great choice for tropical or desert-inspired gardens, container gardening, or as a houseplant. However, it should be handled with care as the sap can be toxic and irritating to the skin and eyes.

  1. Great Product 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 2nd Apr 2019

    I was skeptical about ordering plants online but I couldn't beat the price. They showed up a few days after ordering and everything was great. They were actually bigger than I thought and all very healthy.
