Euphorbia - Firestick

This selection of Pencil Tree has the outstanding feature of providing luminous yellow to orange top stems during periods of cold weather or physical stresses. The brightest, deepest colors occur on plants grown in full sun, but plants in more shade usually do not disappoint. These Euphorbias should be planted in well-drained soil and kept drier during fall and winter months. Easy-to-grow with little maintenance required. Sap of Euphorbias can be caustic to skin and eyes. Use gloves and wear long sleeves when pruning them.
