Sculptural and sun-loving, the Pencil Cactus is a modern favorite for its striking, minimalist form. Its thin, pencil-like branches grow upright and branch out in all directions, creating an airy, tree-like silhouette that adds bold structure to any space. In bright light, the tips can blush with shades of orange or coral, especially in the ‘Sticks on Fire’ variety.
Despite its cactus nickname, this plant is actually a succulent euphorbia and requires very little water—making it a perfect pick for bright windowsills, patios, or xeriscape gardens.
