A Little History
Native to Africa and India, the pencil cactus has been admired for centuries for its ability to flourish in some of the world’s driest climates. Its striking form has made it a favorite in drought-tolerant gardens, as well as in stylish indoor planters where it brings a touch of the desert home.

Care Instructions

• Sunlight: Loves full sun but can adapt to bright indirect light indoors.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

• Watering: Water sparingly—allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering may cause root rot.

• Temperature: Keep in warm conditions; protect from frost.

• Maintenance: Requires very little care; trim away any damaged or dried stems. (Note: Produces a milky sap that may irritate skin—handle with care.)

Complimentary Plant Pairings
Pair with other sun-loving, drought-tolerant plants like aloe, agave, or echeveria for a striking desert arrangement. It also makes a unique companion to ornamental grasses for a layered, textural look.

Whether displayed in a windowsill, on a patio table, or in a container garden, the 4.5" pencil cactus adds year-round interest, easy care, and a dash of exotic beauty—perfect for Southern homes that love style with substance.
