Euphorbia tirucalli
SKU 6425
Place the plant pot in a tray and fill the tray with water such that the plant can absorb the water directly from the tray. Do this once every week or when the soil dries out. Don't water the plant directly from the top as this will cause the plant leaves to rot.
Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours
Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.
The Euphorbia tirucalli, also known as the Pencil Cactus or Firestick Plant, is a striking succulent that adds a bold, modern touch to any indoor or outdoor space. Its slender, pencil-like branches grow in a unique, upright formation, creating a sculptural aesthetic that suits minimalist and contemporary decor. Its color can range from bright green to fiery orange-red tips, especially in bright sunlight.
This hardy plant is perfect for the UAE's dry climate, as it thrives in arid conditions and requires minimal watering. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it a low-maintenance choice for busy plant enthusiasts or those new to gardening. The Euphorbia tirucalli grows best in bright, indirect sunlight and needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot. It's an ideal companion for other succulents like Aloe, Agave, or Snake Plant.
Care instructions: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so less is more. Place it in a bright, sunny spot to bring out its vibrant colors. Be cautious while handling, as its sap can be irritating to the skin. With its bold design and low-maintenance care, the Euphorbia tirucalli is a must-have for homes, offices, and gardens in the UAE.
