Product Details
Highlights
'Sticks on Fire' or Firesticks (Euphorbia tirucalli): Striking reddish-orange, gold, and light green succulent. It has many coral-like branches, each about the width of a pencil. When planted in the ground in Mediterranean climates, it can develop into a 6.0"-8.0' tall shrub, though it will stay smaller indoors in a pot. The brightest red tones will emerge when the plant is under moderate stress from full sun, drought, or temperatures around 40F-50F.
PLEASE NOTE: Euphorbia contain a white, latex sap that can cause skin irritation or allergic reaction. Use gloves and eye protection to handle.
Euphorbia will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 75% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
