Euphorbia tirucalli – Pencil Cactus Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Beware the burn! Your Euphorbia tirucalli will love that extra dose of sunshine, so pop it in the perfectly sunny spot – but be careful to avoid leaf scorch!
Is it getting hot in here?! The Euphorbia tetra lives its best life in a warm environment, ideally no cooler than 15°C.
Stop the rot! Allow your cactus’ soil to completely dry-out between waterings as excess water can lead to root rot.
Light
Euphorbia tirucalli needs bright light to thrive. Direct sunlight is fine but take care to ensure this does not scorch the plant.
Watering
Allow the soil of your Pencil Cactus to dry-out before watering again. Do not overwater as the plant will not tolerate standing in water.
Temperature
The tirucalli prefers reasonably warm temperatures, ideally between 15-27°C. Keep out of draughty areas and avoid allowing the plant to fall lower.
Humidity
Normal home humidity is perfectly fine for this Euphorbia, however it will thrive in drier conditions. Avoid placing in steamier rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom.
Feed
Apply a half strength dose of liquid fertiliser once a year in the spring months.
Height & Growth Rate
The Pencil Cactus can grow to enormous heights in the wild, but indoors it can be maintained to any desired size via regular trimming. Slow growing.
Toxicity
This cactus’ sap is poisonous and an irritant. Avoid getting into your eyes or mouth and handle with care.
Origin
Euphorbia tirucalli originates from South Africa.
