Plant Description

The Firesticks Euphorbia (Euphorbia Tirucalli) is a succulent shrub known for its unique and eye-catching appearance. It features upright, slender, cylindrical stems that resemble pencils or sticks. Under ideal conditions, the stems can grow as tall as 6 to 8 feet or even higher. While the stems are typically green, they take on a vibrant red or coral hue in direct sunlight, creating the "sticks on fire" effect. The stems are covered with small, deciduous green leaves that fall off as the plant matures.

Growing Conditions

  • Sunlight: Firesticks need full sunlight to develop their bright color.
  • Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
  • USDA Zones: Best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11, as this plant cannot tolerate frost or freezing temperatures.
  • Handling Precaution: The white sap produced by the plant when cut or damaged can irritate the skin and is toxic if ingested. Handle with caution.

Size and Shaping

Maintaining the size and shape of Firesticks Euphorbia is simple:

  • Pruning: Prune with care, especially when managing the plant's size. Wear protective gear, as the plant's sap is toxic and can irritate the skin.
  • Shaping: Proper pruning helps maintain its form and encourages healthy growth, keeping it an attractive feature in your garden.

Occasional Blooms

On rare occasions, Firesticks may produce small, inconspicuous yellow or greenish blooms at the stem tips. Though these flowers are not the primary decorative feature of the plant, they can add an interesting touch.

Fantastic Product
I bought these hangers to mount my speakers. They are heavy duty, has a curl at the end to keep the speakers from falling off, and I was able to mount them and have clearance underneath. Awesome!!

Does it's purpose with style
We used these in our pantry and dining room for shelves and they turned out well. The only reason they are hard to install is because of the design (which is very nice) so it is worth it. It just takes time when you you are hanging the shelves, to do it correctly. While they can hold a lot, we realized that a bunch of cans or jars cannot go on these shelves. Luckily we had another option for heavy items (Example: We had about 40ish pounds of cans/jars on a 1x12 board that is 33 inches long with 2 of these brackets...and it was too much). If you do not need to hold a lot of weight, these shelves are a for sure, for the price and quality. If you NEED they for something heavy, then you probably will have to go with something more practical from a hardware store. We LOVE them for our pantry!

Worked as intended
Hubby used these to mount a shelf above a long span of windows. They worked great and allowed a clean visual appearance.

Nice brackets
These are nice sturdy brackets for butcher block shelf however they do bend a bit. We installed in a corner so was able to pin to side wall no problems on big shelf. The smaller shelf about 18” moves a bit up and down when loading. Now very little and no worries about it but not rock solid
