The Pencil Cactus, or Euphorbia tirucalli, is a unique and striking succulent that adds a modern, architectural element to any indoor or outdoor space. Despite its common name, it's not a true cactus but a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, which includes poinsettias and crotons. Its thin, pencil-like branches give it a distinctive look, with some varieties like 'Sticks on Fire' showcasing brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in bright sunlight and cooler temperatures.

 

Important Safety Warning:

 

Pencil Cactus contains a milky, toxic sap that can cause severe skin irritation, a burning sensation, and temporary blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling, pruning, or repotting this plant, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.


 

Growing Tips & Requirements

 

 

1. Light and Placement

 

  • Indoors: This plant thrives in high light. Place it in or near a south or west-facing window where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. A lack of light will result in leggy, weak growth.

  • Outdoors: In warmer climates (USDA Zones 10-12), it can be grown outdoors where it can reach impressive heights. It prefers full sun but can benefit from some afternoon shade in extremely hot climates to prevent scorching.

 

2. Water Requirements

 

  • Drought-Tolerant: As a succulent, the Pencil Cactus is designed to store water in its stems. Overwatering is the most common mistake and can lead to fatal root rot.

  • Frequency: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

    • Growing Season (Spring/Summer): Water every 2-4 weeks, or when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

    • Dormant Season (Fall/Winter): Reduce watering significantly to once a month or even less.

  • Technique: Water deeply until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Never let the plant sit in standing water.

 

3. Temperature & Humidity

 

  • Temperature: The Pencil Cactus is a heat-loving plant. It thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C and 29°C).

  • Cold Tolerance: It is not frost-tolerant. If you live in a climate where temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), it's best to grow it in a pot that can be brought indoors during the cooler months.

  • Humidity: It tolerates low humidity well and doesn't require misting.

 

4. Soil Preparation

 

  • Drainage is Key: A well-draining soil mix is absolutely essential to prevent root rot. Standard potting soil holds too much moisture.

  • Recommended Mix: Use a pre-made cactus and succulent mix. You can also create your own by combining:

    • 1 part potting soil or compost

    • 1 part coarse sand

    • 1 part perlite or pumice

  • pH Level: It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6 to 7.5.

 

5. Propagation

 

  • Method: The Pencil Cactus is very easy to propagate from stem cuttings.

  • Steps:

    1. Select a Cutting: Use a sharp, clean knife to cut a 6-inch section from the stem. Wear gloves to protect yourself from the sap.

    2. Callus the Cutting: Lay the cutting in a dry, shaded area for 1-2 days. This allows the cut end to form a protective scab-like layer (callus), which prevents rot once planted. This step is critical!

    3. Planting: Once calloused, plant the cutting in a well-draining soil mix. You can optionally dip the end in rooting hormone, but it's not strictly necessary.

    4. Care: Place the pot in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, until roots have formed. This usually takes a few weeks.

It feels like a gentle hug !
Size: King/Cal King(106"x90"), Color: White
This comforter is not too heavy and not too light, and yet it feels just like a gentle hug around your body which feels just right and perfect for a good night's rest. The color is white which is no problem because it's meant for a duvet cover and didn't have a smell at all which I was concerned about with reading other reviews. It is a perfect size for my bed which is king size and lays over just a bit on either side. If you like something that hangs over the bed more I would suggest buying the California King. It's a great value for the money, because you can't put a price tag on a good night's sleep. The only downfall to this comforter is that it feels so good that it's hard to get out of bed! When you purchase this it will be a bit flat because of packaging but once you get it on the bed it fluffs up after a few hours, you can also shake it out a bit if you want it filled out a bit better, I found it easier to put the duvet cover on it first and then gently shake it out over the bed.

Order a king for your tall queen mattress
Size: Full/Queen(90"x90"), Color: White
I love it! It is so puffy and light. It feels luxurious to go to bed. It is so puffy that it shrinks the width, barely covering my tall queen mattress. I wish I'd ordered a king size.
