Sticks on Fire, also known as Firesticks or Euphorbia tirucalli, is a striking succulent prized for its fiery, coral-like stems that shift from golden yellow to vibrant orange and red in full sun. With its upright, branching habit and sculptural form, it's a show-stopper in modern, desert, and minimalist landscapes. Its vivid color intensifies with heat and light, especially during cooler months.
This low-maintenance succulent thrives in full sun, well-draining soil, and hot, dry climates—making it perfect for Arizona gardens. Once established, it requires very little water and is excellent for xeriscaping, rock gardens, or container displays. Note: like other Euphorbias, the sap can be irritating to skin, so handle with care when trimming.
