Plant Description

The Firesticks Euphorbia (Euphorbia Tirucalli) is a succulent shrub known for its unique and eye-catching appearance. It features upright, slender, cylindrical stems that resemble pencils or sticks. Under ideal conditions, the stems can grow as tall as 6 to 8 feet or even higher. While the stems are typically green, they take on a vibrant red or coral hue in direct sunlight, creating the "sticks on fire" effect. The stems are covered with small, deciduous green leaves that fall off as the plant matures.

Growing Conditions

  • Sunlight: Firesticks need full sunlight to develop their bright color.
  • Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
  • USDA Zones: Best suited for USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11, as this plant cannot tolerate frost or freezing temperatures.
  • Handling Precaution: The white sap produced by the plant when cut or damaged can irritate the skin and is toxic if ingested. Handle with caution.

Size and Shaping

Maintaining the size and shape of Firesticks Euphorbia is simple:

  • Pruning: Prune with care, especially when managing the plant's size. Wear protective gear, as the plant's sap is toxic and can irritate the skin.
  • Shaping: Proper pruning helps maintain its form and encourages healthy growth, keeping it an attractive feature in your garden.

Occasional Blooms

On rare occasions, Firesticks may produce small, inconspicuous yellow or greenish blooms at the stem tips. Though these flowers are not the primary decorative feature of the plant, they can add an interesting touch.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come. It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.

Great choice
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After I suffered a second-degree burn from steam, I was told by my doctor that I would have to keep my new fresh skin sun-blocked for up to a year to avoid any scarring or hyper pigmentation. This has been a great selection as it is a roll-on, Which helps a lot with preventing messes that can happen with traditional sunblock bottles. I also like that it is easy to travel with, and the fact that it is zinc based.

My favorite new mineral sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my favorite new mineral sunscreen! I've been searching for years for a product that is easy to apply, not messy, and doesn't show up too white. This roll-on is the perfect solution. I keep it near the front door and quickly roll the sunscreen on my hands, arms, and chest before leaving the house. The sunscreen applies so quickly and uniformly-- there are no bare spots or messy globs to rub in. Also, the roll-on keeps the sunscreen from oozing out of the tube and getting all over everything. Finally, the roll-on method also eliminates the frustration of having half-filled tubes and pumps where you can't even access the sunscreen when the tube gets low. Here's hoping this doesn't happen with the roll-on. Thank you Sun Bum for creating this wonderful product. I also love the reasonable price.

great product - it must be blended in well
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this stuff. The roll-on makes it easy to apply on the go. It leaves a white streak unless you blend it in. I don't mind the white streak - at least I know I applied the product.
