The Pencil Cactus, or Euphorbia tirucalli, is a unique and striking succulent that adds a modern, architectural element to any indoor or outdoor space. Despite its common name, it's not a true cactus but a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, which includes poinsettias and crotons. Its thin, pencil-like branches give it a distinctive look, with some varieties like 'Sticks on Fire' showcasing brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in bright sunlight and cooler temperatures.

 

Important Safety Warning:

 

Pencil Cactus contains a milky, toxic sap that can cause severe skin irritation, a burning sensation, and temporary blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling, pruning, or repotting this plant, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.


 

Growing Tips & Requirements

 

 

1. Light and Placement

 

  • Indoors: This plant thrives in high light. Place it in or near a south or west-facing window where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. A lack of light will result in leggy, weak growth.

  • Outdoors: In warmer climates (USDA Zones 10-12), it can be grown outdoors where it can reach impressive heights. It prefers full sun but can benefit from some afternoon shade in extremely hot climates to prevent scorching.

 

2. Water Requirements

 

  • Drought-Tolerant: As a succulent, the Pencil Cactus is designed to store water in its stems. Overwatering is the most common mistake and can lead to fatal root rot.

  • Frequency: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

    • Growing Season (Spring/Summer): Water every 2-4 weeks, or when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

    • Dormant Season (Fall/Winter): Reduce watering significantly to once a month or even less.

  • Technique: Water deeply until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Never let the plant sit in standing water.

 

3. Temperature & Humidity

 

  • Temperature: The Pencil Cactus is a heat-loving plant. It thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C and 29°C).

  • Cold Tolerance: It is not frost-tolerant. If you live in a climate where temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), it's best to grow it in a pot that can be brought indoors during the cooler months.

  • Humidity: It tolerates low humidity well and doesn't require misting.

 

4. Soil Preparation

 

  • Drainage is Key: A well-draining soil mix is absolutely essential to prevent root rot. Standard potting soil holds too much moisture.

  • Recommended Mix: Use a pre-made cactus and succulent mix. You can also create your own by combining:

    • 1 part potting soil or compost

    • 1 part coarse sand

    • 1 part perlite or pumice

  • pH Level: It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6 to 7.5.

 

5. Propagation

 

  • Method: The Pencil Cactus is very easy to propagate from stem cuttings.

  • Steps:

    1. Select a Cutting: Use a sharp, clean knife to cut a 6-inch section from the stem. Wear gloves to protect yourself from the sap.

    2. Callus the Cutting: Lay the cutting in a dry, shaded area for 1-2 days. This allows the cut end to form a protective scab-like layer (callus), which prevents rot once planted. This step is critical!

    3. Planting: Once calloused, plant the cutting in a well-draining soil mix. You can optionally dip the end in rooting hormone, but it's not strictly necessary.

    4. Care: Place the pot in a bright location with indirect sunlight. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, until roots have formed. This usually takes a few weeks.

Good size bottle, not favorite but a good body oil.
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
While I wouldn’t necessarily call this the *best* glitter body oil I’ve ever tried as it’s quite messy to apply, it’s still certainly become a summer staple on my vanity. Being an ex smoker with the smokers skin problem living in the dry AZ desert, the Hyaluronic Acid in it is a plus. It is a thicker oil though, that isn’t as quick to dry & no where near enough glitter in it imo compared to others marketed for their gold glitter (like the Tarte glitter body oil that I like which is a bit thinner & quicker to absorb w/ more glitter appearance on the skin), but it is a fairly large sized bottle that lasts me awhile. When I originally bought my first bottle it was about 1/2 price it is now, so for how thick/messy & not quickly absorbing it is, kind of just staying wet & glossy on top of my skin making it easy to wipe off rather than wiping in… I’m not sure I’d say the value for the money is quite there anymore at $40 or something a bottle. Sure, it’s a bigger bottle than most that still charge me $30, but it’s just not as good a quality of product. . Kopari in general just hasn’t been what I was used to it being for a little while now since exploding into this huge brand… That all said, I still find myself coming back to buy a second bottle, lol. The Kopari sales reps are right when they say it works much better when mixed into the whipped Kopari lotion & then a little goes a lot longer a way & absorbs better for that softer not so oily skin. Overall, it is kind of expensive for what it is quality wise, but the amount you get some would say is a good value for your money. I’d say the quality could be better for the value, but it’s def not a ‘bad’ body oil by any stretch, especially when mixed with the lotion. It’s my secondary backup to go to that comes with enough to last me longer & supplement my better quality better absorbing more expensive oils. If you like a thicker glitter body oil that isn’t too glittery & you use a lot of body oil, this may be a good one for you. If you have dry skin & prefer to use lotion & only a little glitter body oil mostly in the sun to add glitter & help draw in the sun for a tan & want a thinner faster absorbing oil, this may not be the one for you- even if it comes with a hefty amount for the $40 price point compared to others at same price point.

Magic In A Bottle
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
What CAN one say about Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil except MORE PLEASE!! IYKYK...this product outperforms anything else. It plumps it smooths it deeply moisturizes it takes away the dreaded crepey skin! I do apply it first on bare skin and then layer the Restore Body Butter over it and there's just nothing better. My skin looks and feels AMAZING for 2-3 days after a full slather with this. Don't expect the glowy look the hype and stock photos show, it's not about that. The combo of ingredients in this product are next level!!! The gold bits are pretty in the bottle but thats the last time you see them....it's a nice classy touch tho. This stuff is just everything!
