Sticks on Fire Firesticks Pencil Cactus Euphorbia tirucalli Plant

Firesticks Pencil Cactus Euphorbia tirucalli Plant

Firesticks’ Euphorbia is one of the most distinctive succulents you can have in your garden. Its unique branching habit, plus the striking foliage color, makes this succulent a lovely specimen in any setting. ‘Firesticks’ can be planted landscape beds or in containers. This euphorbia earns it name by the fiery stem and foliage color.

The firestick plant, also called sticks on fire, is a succulent from the pencil cactus family known as Euphorbia tirucalli. Instead of staying green year-round like other pencil cacti, the stems of the firestick plant turn a bright reddish-orange when overall temperatures drop in cool months. This color distinction is where it gets its full Latin name of Euphorbia tirucalli rosea.
