What are pre-orders?

Plants that are available for pre-order are either:

1. Really popular so we make sure to always offer them for sale because we can get them in easily

2. Are only available seasonally so we try to help as many customers as possible get the plant they are looking for when it is available

3. Are available to us at a discounted price point that we want to pass on to consumers.

If you change your mind you can always receive a store credit. If your plant is delayed you can always receive a cash refund.

Also known as The Milk Bush because of its thick white sap, The Pencil Cactus can grow to 6 feet indoors. Native to Africa and India it like a sunny arid climate. Although commonly referred to as a cactus it is technically a Euphorbia.

Light: It prefers that bright indirect light, but it can take the direct sun as well. Never put it in a dark corner.

Water: Unlike a lot of cacti it can require a bit more water in the spring summer. Water every 4 weeks in the winter and increase frequency to about every 2 weeks in the spring summer. Water when dry but don't forget about it.

Humdity: Can handle dry air

How to care for your

Euphorbia tirucalli

About care instructions

Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.

Water: 2-4 weeks

Let the plant dry out completely between watering - water when the pot is completely dry. Make sure to plant in fast-draining soil with a drainage hole for best results. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 2-4 weeks.

Sun: direct light

This plant wants as much sun as you can give it—place in south, west, or unobstructed east-facing window. Direct light means 8+ hours of direct sun. Anything less, and you might want to consider a grow light. In the summer, you can put it outside in direct sunlight

Humidity: low

This plant doesn't care about how humid it is. It will work perfectly fine near that vent you want to cover up.

Cactus

Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. These are unique plants that come from arid environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth.


Most true cacti are Native to the Americas and can be found natively from Patagonia to Canada. Today, cacti are found across the globe as a popular component of modern landscape architecture and interior design.


When speaking of cacti, we often include Euphorbias, which range from small plants to large trees. Many Euphorbia have common names that refer to them as cacti.
