Caring for an indoor Euphorbia tirucalli, commonly known as the pencil cactus or firestick plant, requires a few important considerations. First, it thrives in bright, indirect light, so placing it near a sunny window or providing artificial light is essential. The plant prefers warm temperatures between 18-29°C and should be protected from cold drafts. Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. The pencil cactus is drought-tolerant and can handle periods of neglect, making it a low-maintenance choice. Pruning is rarely necessary, but if desired, it's recommended to wear gloves as the plant produces a toxic milky sap. Overall, providing a well-draining soil mix, occasional light fertilization, and a warm, bright environment will contribute to the successful care of an indoor 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.
