Euphorbia tirucalli 'Fire Sticks' – Pencil-Thin Red Stems

Euphorbia tirucalli 'Fire Sticks'

A striking cultivar, 'Fire Sticks' has pencil-thin stems that turn brilliant red-orange in full sun and cool weather, resembling a bundle of glowing sticks. It follows the standard euphorbia care: high light, water when dry (drier in winter), regular feeding, dry air, and stable temperatures. A dramatic color accent for containers and landscapes.

Secrets of Success

• Light: High Light
• Water: Water when soil is dry; keep drier in winter
• Fertilizer: Feed regularly during growing season
• Humidity: Prefers dry air
• Temperature: Avoid extremes

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full Sun

Use well-drained soil. The color is most intense in winter sun. Sap is toxic and irritating—wear gloves. Drought tolerant.
