Euphorbia Tiricalli "Firesticks"

Image 1 Image 2 Image 3

Euphorbia tirucalli, commonly known as "Firesticks" or "Pencil Cactus," is a succulent plant known for its striking appearance and unique characteristics. It is native to Africa.

The stems of Euphorbia tirucalli "Firesticks" are bright red or orange, giving it the name "Firesticks." The color intensifies in response to sunlight and environmental conditions such as cold and drought.

Euphorbia tirucalli is sensitive to cold temperatures and is not frost-tolerant. It is best suited for warm or tropical climates. In colder regions, it is often grown as a container plant that can be moved indoors during the winter months to protect it from frost.

Ornamental Uses:

Landscaping: Euphorbia tirucalli "Firesticks" is widely used in landscaping for its architectural and dramatic appearance. It adds a bold splash of color to gardens and outdoor spaces.

Container Gardening: Due to its striking appearance and manageable size, it is often grown in containers and used as a focal point in patio or balcony gardens.

Drought-Tolerant Landscapes: The plant is well-adapted to arid conditions and is suitable for xeriscaping or drought-tolerant landscapes.

Euphorbia design and application suggestions:

Our Euphorbias are tolerant of a wide range of lighting conditions. They will be happy outdoors, indoors, on patios or in a sunroom. The Euphorbias we offer also come in very unique shapes and lend themselves as unique single pieces or used to create contrast amongst other plants.

The Euphorbia royaleana looks like a columnar cactus in growth habit. As temperatures warm and days get longer, this Euphorbia starts to grow large succulent leaves. The Moroccan mound is a very unique and symmetrical looking Euphorbia, great in a pot or in the landscape. Firesticks are full of drama when the stems turn red. Candelia and Pedilanthus look great in containers or used as succulent groundcovers and border plantings in the landscape. Euphorbias also offer tremendous disease and critter resistance. In an outdoor setting, you will rarely see Euphorbias being browsed on by animals.

Why purchase our Euphorbias?

Our Euphorbias are grown right here in Southern Arizona in conditions very closely resembling their native habitats. Raised outdoors with just the right amount of water and fertilizer, they come to you in their natural form. These plants do not come to you from a greenhouse. They are already hardy to whatever growing conditions you have to offer. Our Euphorbias present the same appearance as you will find them in their native habitats.

If you want to plant them in a container for a sunroom, patio or window planter, great! If you want to take your Euphorbias and plant them in the ground, also great! No acclimation needed. Our plants are ready to go!

Prickly, pears

I ordered my prickly pears from you. I got the beaver tail. I think it was snow white I got a couple more I can’t. I can’t remember their names right off hand. They came in very very good condition. I planted them approximately a month ago and they have doubled in size. I love them. Thank you very much. Very good products.

Firesticks

This plant arrived in very good condition. When I ordered it I thought it would be larger. I know it will grow. It is a welcome addition to my cactus garden.

It reminds me of Fall

The reddish stems remind me of back home when the leaves would change color during Fall. Good way to celebrate seasons when you're away from home.
