Grown in 3.5" Pots, Very Healthy!

Name: Pencil Cactus 
Scientific Name: Euphorbia tirucalli 
Family: Euphorbiaceae 

Product Description     
The Pencil Cactus, also known as Euphorbia tirucalli, is a unique and interesting succulent, not a true cactus. It has thin, pencil-like green stems that can turn reddish-orange in bright sunlight, especially during winter. The plant can grow up to 30 feet tall in its natural habitat but typically stays between 2-6 feet tall when grown indoors. It has small, inconspicuous yellow flowers appear at the ends of the branches in late spring and early summer. Overall, it is a low-maintenance plant that can add a striking visual element to your home or garden. Just be cautious with its sap and ensure it is kept out of reach of pets and children. 

Origination: Africa  
Historic Uses: Ornamental, Ethnobotanical 
Height: 20Ft 
Hardiness: USDA 10-12 (Protect from Frost) 
Flower Color: Yellow   
Other Names: Indian tree spurge, pencil tree, milk bush 

Growing Instructions:  
Prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade. Indoors, it should be placed near the brightest window. Thrives in sandy, well-drained soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. Requires minimal watering. Water only when the soil is completely dry, which might be a couple of times a month during warmer months and even less during cooler months. Contains a toxic milky sap that can cause skin irritation and is harmful if ingested by humans or pets.

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. 

Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter. 

❗LOOK!!❗
Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience.

Good quality
Size: Large, Color: (035) Steel / White / Black
These are a bit thicker then a compression sock and they come up higher on the ankle than a no-show sock normally does. They are very comfortable and soft.
