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.

Comfortable, Easy to Clean, and Held Up at Coachella
Size: 12, Color: White, Size: 12, Color: White
I’m really happy with this purchase. The shoes are very comfortable, and the product description is accurate. I followed the sizing recommendation based on my foot type and went one size up—they fit perfectly. I bought these for Coachella, and they definitely held up. I was on my feet all day, and they stayed comfortable the entire time. What impressed me most is how easy they were to keep clean. At the end of each day, I was able to wipe them down and maintain their whiteness without much effort. Once I got home, I gave them a deeper clean, and they honestly looked as good as new. Even the laces cleaned up easily. Now I’ve transitioned them into my regular work shoes, and they still look great. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend them.

Great shoes that are well made, lite weight, and comfortable.
Size: 12, Color: Brown
Just received my 2nd pair of shoes from Bruno Marc in a size 12. These are really lite and comfortable. It can be dressed down to be a casual shoe or dressed up with a nice suit. These run true to size so I ordered my usual size 12 and the fit was perfect. Being my 2nd pair of Bruno Marc's, I like the quality of their shoes and each shoe is described appropriately on fit and comfort. Insole of these shoes were awesome and provided soft comfort on the feet along with a slight arch support too. Will definitely consider ordering more Bruno Marc shoes in the future.

Cushioned, comfortable, stylish and a rubber sole!
Size: 10, Color: Brown
These shoes check multiple boxes for me, comfortable, cushioned, rubber sole and stylish. As my feet grow old and worn out, I'm on a constant search for comfortable, cushioned shoes that are suitable for work and dressier occasions. I have tried many expensive shoes that look great but either lack cushioning, arch support and or comfort. One of the nice things is these shoes have a rubber sole, where most cushioned shoes have the foam soles which are great, but they tend to lack grip particularly when its damp/wet. They have average arch support, but the insole is removable and I put my own cushioned arch support. Love these!

OG Style
I am a big fan of Bruno Marc shoes. Over the years they have provided comfortable and affordable boots and shoes. These blue, tan and white soled dress sneakers are no exception. They have a nice finished look that makes them both causal and dressy. The lightweight style is still warm enough for colder mid-west winters. The box of the toes is wide and comfortable. The insole is well padded and a pleasure to wear. This is another fine pair of shoes to add to my collection and yours.
