Diameter Plants Euphorbia tirucalli

The Fire Sticks' signature color intensifies when it receives plenty of bright light. While it can tolerate some direct sun once acclimated, placing it in a very bright, sunny spot indoors is the best way to encourage those warm, fiery tones.

No, this plant is toxic to both cats and dogs. It contains a milky sap that can cause significant irritation to skin and eyes, so it is best kept in a location that is completely inaccessible to curious pets and children.

This is a drought-tolerant succulent, so it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water sparingly, and reduce your frequency even further during the winter months to prevent root rot.

You must use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent water from sitting at the roots. Fill it with a fast-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, which provides the sandy, porous environment this plant needs to thrive.

You can keep it outdoors if you live in USDA hardiness zones 10-11, where temperatures remain warm year-round. In cooler climates, it is best treated as a houseplant and brought indoors before the first frost.

It doesn't require heavy feeding. You can apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength once a month during the spring and summer growing season.
