Firestick Plant

Brief Description

The Firestick Plant is a succulent shrub characterized by its numerous, pencil-like, jointed branches that are typically bright green but can turn yellow, orange, or red when stressed by cold or drought, resembling coral. It has tiny, inconspicuous leaves that often drop early, making the plant appear leafless.

Care Instructions

This plant thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, similar to cacti. It is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, especially in winter. Overwatering can lead to root rot. It prefers warm temperatures and should be protected from frost. Handle with care as its sap is a skin and eye irritant. It can be grown in pots or as a landscape plant in suitable climates.
