Bold Colour. Striking Form. Effortless Impact.

Euphorbia tirucalli ‘Firesticks’ is a striking succulent known for its pencil-like stems and seasonal colour changes. It suits bright indoor spaces or sunny outdoor positions.

Description

This plant develops upright, branching stems that can shift from green to shades of orange, red, and yellow depending on light and temperature. Its open, sculptural form makes it a strong feature in pots or garden settings.

It is often selected for its bold colour and architectural growth. Over time, it can grow into a larger shrub-like plant if given space and consistent conditions.
