Care & Growth Requirements
Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight but can tolerate partial shade.
Watering: Requires minimal watering; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Well-draining, sandy, or cactus mix soil is ideal.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (above 50°F/10°C) and is not frost-tolerant.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings, but handle with care due to its toxic sap.
Toxicity Warning
The milky sap of the Pencil Cactus is highly toxic and can cause skin irritation, eye inflammation, and severe discomfort if ingested. Always wear gloves when handling or pruning.

Very nice quality and appearance
Color: Beige
They were surprisingly stout and went together well. We had to return them because when we took them to where they would be used, they were too big to work in that location. Dang. But if we needed them in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them.

Good Multi-use Panels
Color: Grey
These panels were easy to assemble and stand sturdy. i will use them to block the sun when I am outside doing yard work in the heat. I'm sure I will find other uses for them too.
