The pencil cactus, otherwise known as a 'milk bush' or euphorbia tirucalli, is a variety of cacti known for its signature, vertical pencil-like branches that grow in a candelabra pattern.
Native to Africa and best kept in temperatures not dipping below 25°C, the plant has become highly popularized as a house succulent in many parts of the world for its low maintenance nature and pleasing silhouette.
