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.

Syrup is excellent, the pump is dramatic
Flavor Name: Vanilla
I am marking 5 for the syrup itself, my favorite syrup. In regards of the pump, a little too dramatic for me and it will go everywhere. I would rather pour the syrup, including I found the pump will leak and there was a ring of syrup around the base of the bottle. Perfect for a coffee shop, but not for a basic kitchen....but I am picky about syrup splattering because the sugar ants are a nightmare.

GREAT GRAPE FLAVORED AND INCREASED ENERGY
Set name: Welch's Grape
I have tried the competitor’s grape flavored versions. This is by far the best grape flavored energy drink. It gives you the increased energy level you’re looking for without making you feel “fidgety.” Highly recommend this energy drink for its effectiveness and flavor!

Green Apple is the best!
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Love these, I am subscribed for every two weeks, they last me one a day at work until the next shipment. Yay! Green sour apple is just the best. It’s slightly sour and refreshing. I work graveyard and stay awake all night with one of these. Super effective, great value for the money since I’m getting them cheaper this way than buying one a day at the convenience store next to my house. They’re sugar free but use sucralose, which is wannabe sugar but still, I’d say better for me (pre-diabetic) than real sugar.

Red Berry Drink
Set name: Sour Patch Kids Redberry
I drink one of these red cans when I get to the shop in the mornin. The taste reminnd me of the candy my kids liked when they were small. It has a sour kick at first but a sweet taste comes next in my mouth. I feel awake after I finish the can. My focus stays sharp while I work on the mashines for a few hours. I do not feel jitters in my hands or my chest like I do with some coffee. The liquid has no color which is fine with me because it does not stain my teath. I keep the pack in the small fridge in the garage to keep them cold. It is a good choice for days when I have a lot of heavy labor to do. My brother tried one and he thought the flavor was tart but I think it is right. I do not feel a crash when the afternoon comes. It is a way to get energy for my shift. I like that the cans are tall and hold much to last a while. My wife says I look alert when I use them before our walk.

I’ll buy it again.
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Ghost is very good. Especially comparing it to other energy drinks that literally tingle your whole body if you drink it too quickly. When I’m looking for energy drinks I really want more focus and mental energy over simple caffeine high and energy. This does give me both. In a good way. It has been very effective in what it says it does. Definitely value for the money over buying it at the gas stations one by one. Buying it in bulk definitely cuts the cost down. Energy levels peak very well without a crash at the end. The ingredients seems to be very good because my body doesn’t feel heavy afterwards.
