Euphorbia tirucalli – Pencil Cactus – Baby “Milk Brush” (Small)

This Euphorbia tirucalli, often called Pencil Cactus or Milk Brush, is a baby grown from my larger parent plant. Watching it develop has been fascinating—the branches rise like electric flames frozen in motion, each new shoot stretching upward with sharp energy. It’s easy to imagine planting many together someday as a living, sculptural fence. Though small now, this species can eventually grow into a massive shrub or tree, reaching up to 20 feet or more in the right conditions.
